The Philippine General Hospital (PGH) is fully prepared for the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, having met all requirements except for a specific type of syringe.
UP-PGH Director Dr. Gerardo Legazpi stated that the hospital is ready for any type of vaccine, regardless of its storage needs.
Overwhelming support for vaccination has been shown by PGH personnel, with about 94 percent of medical and non-medical workers participating in a survey.
The survey revealed that 74 percent of PGH staff are willing to be vaccinated.
