IATF releases ‘protocols’ for fully vaccinated individuals
The Inter-Agency Task Force against COVID-19 has established protocols for fully vaccinated individuals traveling within the Philippines.
A fully vaccinated individual is defined as someone who received their second dose of a two-dose vaccine or a single-dose vaccine at least two weeks prior, with the vaccine being on the country's EUA List, having a CSP from the Philippine FDA, or on the WHO's Emergency Use Listing.
Under the new protocols, fully vaccinated people will only need to present their vaccination card for interzonal travel as well as for intrazonal movement.
This means fully vaccinated individuals will not need to present swab test results for domestic travel.
The intrazonal movement of fully vaccinated senior citizens within areas under general community quarantine and modified GCQ shall continue to be allowed.
