Iloilo has reached a full vaccination rate of 92.11 percent from its target population, the highest outside Luzon and NCR, City Mayor Jerry Treñas tweeted on Sunday.
"We are taking a leap towards herd immunity. We [will] continue to conduct our vaccination program to increase the numbers so we can finally move forward," Treñas wrote.
In his Facebook post, Treñas said that the city has procured vaccines from various pharmaceutical companies to fast-track their vaccination program and the inoculation of booster shots once it is approved.
"I thank my vax team and the community for their unwavering support in ending this war against the unseen enemy. Padayon kita sa pagbatò para sa pagbangon sang ciudad! Uswag Iloilo!"
