Pasig first LGU with DOH/WHO-approved vaccination plan
Pasig City has become the first local government unit in the Philippines to receive approval for its COVID-19 vaccination plan from the Department of Health (DOH) and the World Health Organization (WHO).
Mayor Vico Sotto announced this achievement, noting the plan's approval was confirmed by vaccine czar Carlito Galvez.
The city's plan is divided into three phases: pre-vaccination, vaccination, and post-vaccination.
Pasig City plans to prioritize frontline health workers, senior citizens, persons with disabilities (PWDs), indigent residents, and other frontline personnel.
The city has established 16 vaccination sites, which are capable of inoculating over 5,000 individuals daily.
Potential vaccination sites include public schools, hospitals, and the Tanghalang Pasigueño.
This approved plan is crucial for Pasig City to receive its allocated vaccine doses from the national government, ensuring proper handling and preventing wastage.
