La Union allows essential travel of fully vaccinated persons
La Union province now allows fully vaccinated individuals to enter for essential travel without needing a negative RT-PCR test, provided they received their second dose at least two weeks prior.
Provincial information officer Adamor Dagang explained that this policy is based on health experts' advice regarding immunity post-vaccination.
The guidelines, issued through Executive Order No. 29, specifically exclude tourism-related travel.
The vaccines administered must be on the Philippine FDA emergency use authorization (EUA) list or have a compassionate special permit (CSP).
Individuals must present their vaccination card for verification at border checkpoints as a substitute for the RT-PCR test.
Those who have received only a single dose of a vaccine are still required to present a negative RT-PCR result taken within 72 hours before entering La Union.
