Olympic, SEAG-bound athletes to be vaccinated starting Friday
Delegates bound for the Tokyo Olympics and the 31st Hanoi Southeast Asian Games will begin receiving their COVID-19 vaccinations on Friday, May 28.
The Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) is coordinating with National Sports Associations (NSAs) to list individuals for inoculation at the Manila Prince Hotel.
This initiative follows the Vietnam SEA Games Organizing Committee's 'no vaccine, no participation' policy.
The vaccination drive, approved by the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF), will run from 9 am to 4 pm.
Requirements such as COVID-19 antigen tests are still under discussion.
