Pero ang ginagawa natin ngayon ay first dose, pero &#x27;yung tulong namin until kailangan, nandiyan kami,&quot; said the presidential aspirant.(The help we are offering includes the first dose until the booster shots. Right now we are administering first doses, but until we can, we will assist.)The Vice President thanked the usual medical partners of the vaccine express program, including volunteer doctors called “Robredocs,” who support her presidential bid.&quot;Nagpapasalamat kami sa volunteer doctors kasi sila ang yaman natin dito sa vaccine express,&quot; Robredo said. (We are thankful to the volunteer doctors because they are the ones behind this vaccine express.)She, however, reiterated the lack of COVID-19 vaccines in certain provinces whose residents have not even had their first jab.&quot;So depende sa lugar kung sino &#x27;yung tuturukan natin pero nagfa-follow tayo sa lead ng LGU. Kasi &#x27;yung sa atin naman, mas support lang, kung ano &#x27;yung kailangan ng LGU, doon tayo,&quot; she explained. (Those who will be vaccinated still depends on the areas that the LGUs pointed out. What we can offer is the support for the LGU.)

So going here, we only planned the vaccine express but when our supporters heard were were coming, they also requested that we meet them.)The OVP&#x27;s Vaccine Express has been held in Manila, Quezon City, Pasig City and Robredo&#x27;s hometown Naga City, mostly catering to essential workers and other priority sectors. <ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/06/22/21/leni-robredo-vaccine-express-manila">READ: Robredo opens ‘vaccination express’ for riders in Manila</a></li>	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/08/22/21/ovp-vaccine-express-tapped-for-pasig-city">READ: Robredo&#x27;s vaccination initiative deployed in Pasig City on Ninoy Aquino Day</a></li></ul>The Philippines aims to fully vaccinate up to 77 million individuals by yearend to contain the virus.
