GO Negosyo founder Jose Maria "Joey" Concepcion 3rd on Tuesday reiterated his appeal to the government to approve second booster shots as some 1.5 million Covid-19 vaccines purchased by the private sector are set to expire by the end of July.

In a statement, Concepcion once again asked the Health Technology Assessment Council (HTAC) to allow the private sector's recommendation to help achieve President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s goal of administering at least 23 million booster shots within his first hundred days in office.
