Manila conducts 2nd mass COVID-19 vaccination simulation
The city government of Manila conducted its second simulation for a large-scale Covid-19 vaccination drive, involving 1,000 community-based participants.
Mayor Isko Moreno Domagoso stated that the simulation at Rosauro Almario Elementary School in Tondo aimed to replicate a realistic vaccination scenario where the site is within walking distance for residents.
The exercise was designed to observe the vaccination process flow and identify potential challenges to improve the actual rollout.
Tondo was chosen as the simulation site because it was previously placed under a hard lockdown and has a high number of Covid-19 infections.
Manila has identified 18 potential vaccination sites, with the goal of inoculating up to 18,000 individuals per day, potentially reaching 540,000 residents in a month.
The simulation is considered the closest possible scenario to actual mass vaccination.
