– Basilan and Lamitan City, however, only has 16% accomplishment or 6,009 vaccinated out of the 37,500 target.
“We have surpassed the COVID-19 outbreak with few cases to minimal deaths but still we should not take it for granted because our enemy is not seen,” Cabotaje said.
MOH Officer-in-Charge Minister Dr. Zul Qarneyn Abas, thanked all of the ministry's partners for helping to conduct the SVD.
“I would like to express my deepest thanks and gratitude to all of you, especially to our health warriors’ sacrifices, our DOH or the national government support, assistance of our local government, and our development stakeholders, for the smooth implementation of SVD,” Abas said.
“We are still hoping that on or before the end of June, we could still meet the 70% herd immunity in our region as the regular vaccination continues,” Abas said.
According to the MOH, the Bangsamoro region has a total of 1,066,653 individuals who have been fully vaccinated and 1,388,591 individual who have gotten at least one dose of vaccine.

HLA-KAP is conducted to assess the health literacy levels of an individual, to obtain, process, and understand basic health information needed to make appropriate health decisions.
As part of the enacted Universal Health Care (UHC) Act, this survey will study the knowledge, attitudes, and health practices of households from each Local Government Unit (LGU).
"I've been waiting for a program like this to happen. Because we need a scientific basis to make our programs and policies more effective," Dalidig said.
"But, it is not just a basis or for planning, this will also help us empower our constituents," Dalidig said.
This continous activity of the Public Health Literacy Assessment-Knowledge, Attitude and Practices (HLA-KAP) study will run from this July to August of this year.
