In Metro Manila, unvaccinated barred from public transport starting January 17
The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) announced that unvaccinated individuals will be banned from boarding flights to and from Metro Manila starting January 17, 2022.
This policy aligns with the Department of Transportation's (DOTr) 'no vaccination, no ride' order for public transport.
The CAAP's 'no vaccination, no ride' policy will be applied to all individuals entering CAAP-operated facilities and domestic passengers traveling to and from the National Capital Region (NCR).
CAAP operates most airports nationwide, excluding the Mactan-Cebu International Airport.
The requirement will be in effect as long as Metro Manila remains under Alert Level 3 or higher.
Full vaccination is defined as being at least two weeks after receiving the second dose of a two-dose vaccine or a single-dose vaccine.
Passengers are required to present physical or digital copies of their vaccine card or a vaccine certification from the Department of Health (DOH), along with a valid government-issued identification card.
Unvaccinated individuals traveling for essential purposes or those with medical conditions preventing vaccination may still fly if they provide necessary documentation.
