“More raffle entries are given to fully vaccinated individuals, and senior citizens receive double the amount of entries. This is to ensure that people return for their second dose and that the most vulnerable sector — the senior citizens — are vaccinated and protected,” the health department said in a statement.

The raffle is powered by Zed and major telecom companies and will run from October to December, according to the DOH.
