Specifically, 1,006,401 of eligible population were inoculated as of Aug 25 out of which 269,408 have already been fully vaccinated while 516,977 received the first dose, and 220,016 persons were inoculated with the single dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
Dr. Rheuel Bobis, CHD 1 COVID-19 focal person, said close coordination with the national government and the local governments continues to ensure an efficient distribution and stable allocation of vaccines in the region.
