Manila ready to revive 24/7 vaccination hubs to administer COVID-19 boosters COVID!9VaccinePH
MANILA - Manila Mayor Isko Moreno Domagoso said Thursday the capital city is ready to revive its 24/7 vaccination hubs once it receives new vaccines that will be used as booster shots for adult Filipinos.
While Manila has vaccine supply on hand, this is allocated for the vaccination of 12- to 17-year olds, the mayor said on the sidelines of his pre-campaign "listening tour" in Parañaque. "Kung maguumpisa na rin 'yung [booster] sa mga adults... across the board ay handa naman mag-deploy ang City of Manila simultaneously sa bata, sa booster, at sa national vaccination na ginagawa ng national government," he said.The Department of Health earlier said that the rollout of booster shots for essential workers and indigent Filipinos may begin as early as December 3.
When asked if Manila would impose a "no vaccine, no work policy," the Mayor said he would rather have measures legislated either by Congress or the city council."Maraming batas na puwede gawin na maibsan naman natin 'yung hirap ng tao," he said. As of December 1, Manila has breached the 126 percent mark of its target for fully vaccinations, while 80 percent of minors aged between 12 and 17 have already been vaccinated.
