Willie Revillame or Kuya Wil has already received his first jab of Sinovac’s COVID-19 vaccine.
In an episode of his variety show Wowowin, the TV host shared his experience of getting inoculated against the coronavirus on Monday and encouraged qualified individuals who are having second thoughts to do the same.
“Wala akong naramdaman, nakikipaglokohan pa ako eh, tapos na pala,” said Kuya Wil.
Kuya Wil, who turned 60 early this year, related that he had to go through a health screening prior to getting vaccinated.
“Kukuhanin muna ‘yung blood pressure mo. Che-checkin ka lahat, oxygen mo, lahat bago ka nila ma-injection. Titingnan ho kung ika’y high blood o hindi. Sa awa ng Diyos, kanina nasa ano ako eh, 130 over 80, batang-bata,” he said.
The TV host added that getting vaccinated reduces the risk of having serious complications from the virus.
“Yan ay importante para po sa atin to, para sa ating buhay ‘to,” said Kuya Wil who is scheduled to receive his second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine on May 11.
The Department of Health earlier announced that medical frontliners as well as those in the vulnerable groups such as senior citizens and individuals with comorbidities are in the priority line for the government’s vaccination program.
As of Wednesday, the health department logged 8,122 additional cases of COVID-19 in the country.
