DOH backs Nayong Pilipino for mega vax site

Health Secretary Francisco Duque III expressed support for using Nayong Pilipino as a temporary COVID-19 mega vaccination site.

He emphasized the need for large vaccination venues to ramp up the government's program and meet the target of 500,000 daily inoculations nationwide.

Vaccine Czar Carlito Galvez Jr. has urged the Nayong Pilipino Foundation (NPF) board to approve the construction of the mega vaccination site.

The NPF board has not yet approved the project, with concerns raised about cutting down 500 trees.

The National Task Force (NTF) Against COVID-19 plans to establish more large-scale vaccination sites, including Nayong Pilipino, to supplement existing venues like stadiums and malls.
