Malabon to set aside P150 million to buy coronavirus vaccines
The Navotas city government has allocated an initial budget of P20 million to procure COVID-19 vaccines for its residents, which will be provided free of charge.
This P20 million allocation is part of the city's 2021 budget and will be sourced from the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Fund (DRRMF).
Navotas Mayor Toby Tiangco announced the budget for the vaccine procurement on January 4.
Several other Metro Manila cities, including Caloocan, Manila, Quezon, Makati, Taguig, Parañaque, Pasig, and Valenzuela, have also announced plans to purchase vaccines independently of the national government's procurement efforts.
