Vaccine Queue Philippines
Find your place in the Philippines COVID-19 vaccine priority queue by age, occupation, and health conditions using DOH priority groups. Free tool with wait estimates and breakdown charts.
About This Calculator
The Vaccine Queue Calculator (Philippines) helps you estimate your position in the Philippine COVID-19 vaccination priority queue based on the National Deployment and Vaccination Plan for COVID-19 Vaccines published by the Philippine Department of Health (DOH). Select your age and the categories that apply to you, and the tool determines which priority group you would belong to and estimates how many people are ahead of you.
The calculation uses population estimates for each priority group based on Philippine government data. Your queue position is determined by summing the population of all higher-priority groups (adjusted by the vaccine uptake rate) plus a portion of your own group. The estimated wait time is calculated by dividing the number of people ahead by the weekly vaccination rate. The tool includes a bar chart showing population distribution across all priority groups and a pie chart showing your queue position.

How accurate is the wait time estimate?
Estimates depend on the weekly vaccination rate and uptake percentage entered. Actual vaccination rates vary based on vaccine supply, local government capacity, and appointment availability. Use this tool as a rough guide based on the Philippine government's 2021 rollout parameters.
What vaccination rate should I use for the Philippines?
The default weekly vaccination rate of 1,475,761 was based on the government's target to vaccinate 50% of the adult population within 2021. Actual rates fluctuated throughout the rollout. Check the DOH website for current vaccination figures.
What does the vaccine uptake rate mean?
The uptake rate represents the percentage of people in each priority group who are willing to receive the vaccine. The default 32% was based on a Social Weather Stations survey from April-May 2021 showing vaccine confidence levels in the Philippines.
