No walk-ins at QC vaccination sites -- Mayor Belmonte
Quezon City and Caloocan City mayors have announced a no walk-in policy for COVID-19 vaccinations during the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) to prevent overcrowding and the spread of the virus.
QC Mayor Joy Belmonte stated that unregistered individuals were going to vaccination sites due to employers' instructions, which she deemed discriminatory.
Belmonte emphasized that employees are unvaccinated due to supply issues, not refusal, and promised to prioritize their inoculation once additional vaccine supplies arrive.
Residents and workers in Quezon City can register for vaccination through the QCProtektodo Vaccination Program via barangay assistance or the online platform qceservices.quezoncity.gov.ph/qcvaxeasy.
Caloocan City Mayor Oscar Malapitan also confirmed the implementation of a registration system for inoculations during the August ECQ period.
