“The Philippine government achieved its target of fully vaccinating 70 million Filipinos against the coronavirus disease before the end of President Rodrigo Duterte’s term on June 30.”
What Vera Files found
As of June 1, data from the Department of Health (DOH) COVID-19 vaccination dashboard shows that this target was indeed achieved with 70,147,235 Filipinos completing their primary vaccine series, but only after several adjustments since vaccination in the country began on March 1, 2021.
