THE Department of Health (DoH) said that it has revised its vaccination targets for the first booster dose, as it will not be able to reach its original target by the end of the first 100 days of the administration of President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr.

The DoH's PinasLakas campaign targeted around 50 percent of the 40 million eligible for booster shots, or around 23 million individuals, by October 8.
