By Filane Mikee Cervantes June 18, 2022, 5:59 pm MANILA – The government should expand the second Covid-19 booster doses to the general public for complete protection against the disease, according to a lawmaker.

Updated at 12:04 am THE head of the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Monday that the planet can end the Covid-19 emergency this year, although the virus last week killed someone every 12 seconds.
