Pasig City eyes to vaccinate medical frontliners in February
The Pasig City government has allocated P300 million for its city-wide COVID-19 vaccination program, with a budget that can be increased if needed and if supplies become available for local procurement.
Pasig City is collaborating with the Department of Health (DOH), the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF), and manufacturers to prepare the logistics for the vaccination drive.
Medical and healthcare front-liners are eyed to be vaccinated as early as February, with the city expecting to roll out a couple of thousand vaccines for them.
This initial rollout will be followed by senior citizens and persons with disabilities.
Mayor Vico Sotto expressed that the city is ready for the inoculation program but it's too early to mention particular vaccine brands.
