Huge crowds of unvaccinated residents tussled for their first shot of the Covid-19 vaccine in the Philippines a day before a scheduled metro-wide lockdown in the country’s capital.

Gerald Evalla, who had also registered for a vaccine shot, recorded throngs of people shoving each other as they swarmed a hospital in Las Pinas City on August 5.

He said: ‘We were told that we wouldn’t be allowed to go out if we stayed unvaccinated so everyone panicked.’

The planned vaccination was reportedly cancelled later on due to violations in social distancing rules.

The Philippine Department of Health recorded 8,172 new infections on August 5 while the number of active cases rose to 66,895. Meanwhile, at least 21,883,781 doses of COVID vaccine have been administered so far.
