Coronavirus vaccines have been prepared for distribution at a vaccination site in Manila on May 18, 2021.
“Sa National Capital Region, mataas po ang vaccination rate and we are seeing that severe and critical cases are kept to a minimum,” she said. “Whatever variant it is, we will still see increase in critical and severe cases if our vaccination rate is low. It’s really the vaccines that are saving lives,” he said.
Some of these incidental cases include acute appendicitis, acute coronary syndrome, CVD infarct, intracranial hemorrhage, and trauma from vehicular accident, said Vergeire.
