Laoag residents urged to register online for booster shot
Laoag City residents are strongly encouraged by the local government to register online for their COVID-19 booster shots as soon as possible.
The online registration is exclusively for residents of Laoag City and is currently offering Sinovac and AstraZeneca vaccines for boosters.
Individuals willing to receive the available vaccines will be prioritized for scheduling their booster shots.
Applicants who prefer other vaccine brands can still register but will be scheduled once their preferred brand becomes available.
After completing the online registration, residents should await a call or text message from the Vaccine Operations Center (OpCen) to confirm their booster shot schedule.
The city has seen a rise in active COVID-19 cases, with 11 reported as of January 4, compared to zero active cases on December 30.
Across the Ilocos region, over 5.6 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered, with approximately 64,444 individuals having already received their booster shot.
