668 PUV drivers boosted at Manila’s newest drive-thru vax site
Manila Mayor Isko Moreno launched a drive-thru vaccination site exclusively for public utility vehicle (PUV) drivers and their eligible families at the Bagong Ospital ng Maynila.
On its first day, January 17, the site administered booster shots to 668 PUV drivers.
The facility, located beside the Manila Zoo in Malate, aims to accommodate around 1,000 PUV drivers daily and is open to all PUV drivers regardless of their city of residence.
All vaccine brands are available at this new facility.
Mayor Moreno stated that the initiative aims to avoid disrupting the livelihood of PUV drivers.
This site is one of Manila's vaccination efforts, which also include drive-thru booster sites for motorcycle/bicycle riders at Kartilya ng Katipunan and for four-wheel vehicles 24/7 at Quirino Grandstand.
All these vaccination sites are open to non-residents of Manila.
