Red Cross reloaded with more Sinovac jabs
The Philippine Red Cross (PRC) has opened six new COVID-19 vaccination centers across Metro Manila.
These centers were established after the PRC received 10,000 doses of Sinovac, Pfizer, and Sputnik vaccines from the government.
PRC Chairman and CEO Senator Richard Gordon stated that the organization has prepared a thousand vaccinators nationwide to expedite the vaccination process.
The PRC's 'Bakuna Centers' are located in Mandaluyong, two sites in Manila (Port Area and Pandacan), Makati, Pasig, and Pasay City.
Additionally, the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases approved Gordon's proposal to prioritize relatives and household members of front-liners for vaccination.
