PNP camps eyed as vaccination sites for 12 to 17 age group
The Philippine National Police (PNP) is offering its camps and facilities to support the government's vaccination program for the 12-17 year old population.
PNP chief Gen. Guillermo Lorenzo Eleazar stated that this initiative aims to help decongest vaccination sites once the inoculation for minors begins.
Police camps and facilities can be utilized, initially for the dependents of PNP personnel.
Eleazar has directed the Administrative Support for COVID-19 Task Force (ASCOTF) to prepare for the vaccination of minors by creating a list of dependents aged 12-17.
This preparation is in anticipation of the government's expansion of the vaccination program to include minors, with the goal of increasing the number of protected Filipinos against COVID-19.
The PNP will coordinate with the National Task Force Against COVID-19 and the Department of Health for this undertaking.
