Popis: In the efforts of the Philippine government to achieve herd immunity against COVID-19, the Department of Health has called on postgraduate interns, who recently earned their medical degree, to join the vaccination drives as part of their community and elective rotations, with guided supervision by licensed physicians. Through this initiative, volunteer postgraduate interns were able to acquire valuable experience by performing in a real-life setting, gaining practical hands-on knowledge, and making a significant impact in the lives of people in the community by sharing their knowledge and skills and fulfilling their mission to heal and serve mankind while learning more about healthcare conditions in the Philippines.
