COVID-19 jabs to 4,000 in Pasig City from Robredo’s Vax Express
The Office of the Vice President (OVP) partnered with the Pasig City Government to launch "Vaccine Express," inoculating the city's indigent (A5 sector) population against COVID-19.
The two-day initiative, which started on Saturday, August 21, aimed to vaccinate approximately 4,000 individuals.
Vice President Leni Robredo emphasized the importance of vaccinating this sector due to the ongoing surge in COVID-19 cases.
She advised individuals not to walk in but to wait for their scheduled notification from the local government unit (LGU).
Vaccinees were required to bring valid IDs, the Pasig Pass, and umbrellas.
Pasig City is not the first LGU Robredo has partnered with for the Vaccine Express, having previously launched it in Manila, Naga City, Iriga City, and Quezon City.
