91 percent of Boracay’s tourism workers vaccinated
Boracay Island will soon welcome fully vaccinated tourists without requiring a negative RT-PCR test, aiming to revitalize the local tourism industry.
Aklan Governor Florencio T. Miraflores committed to removing the RT-PCR test requirement once the island reaches 100% vaccination rate among its residents and workers.
Tourists will need to present a vaccination certificate from vaxcert.gov.ph, along with other documents such as hotel reservations and valid IDs.
Those who have only received their first dose of the vaccine will still be required to submit a negative RT-PCR test result.
As of Sunday, October 24, 2021, 91% of Boracay's tourism workers and 62.78% of its residents have been vaccinated.
