Manila COVID-19 vaccine storage facility now fully operational
Manila's new COVID-19 vaccine storage facility at Sta. Ana Hospital, constructed in 10 days, is now fully operational as of February 11.
The facility received three Haier ultra-low temperature freezers capable of storing Pfizer vaccines.
It is also equipped with five refrigeration units for AstraZeneca and Sinovac vaccines, and four biomedical freezers for Janssen and Moderna vaccine vials.
Each freezer has an uninterrupted power supply and generators to ensure vaccine integrity during power interruptions.
The 100-square-meter facility includes vinyl, anti-bacterial flooring and is monitored by eleven CCTV cameras.
The city government also acquired 50 transport coolers for vaccine deployment.
This new storage capacity will benefit Manila's five other district hospitals post-pandemic.
