Muntinlupa City has resumed administering first doses of AstraZeneca vaccines after receiving a new shipment of 22,780 doses from the national government.

The city had previously suspended its first and second dose vaccinations for both AstraZeneca and CoronaVac due to a shortage of vaccine supply.

The Festival Mall vaccination site in Alabang, which previously offered AstraZeneca first doses on July 13, has now resumed its first dose vaccinations covering priority groups A1 to A5.

Additionally, 77,883 individuals in Muntinlupa are now fully vaccinated, which is 20 percent of the target population.
