QC launches night vaccination program for workers

The Quezon City government has launched "QC Bakuna Nights," a vaccination program operating from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. to accommodate working individuals.

This initiative allows employees who cannot leave their 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. jobs to get vaccinated without sacrificing their daily income.

On its first day, the program vaccinated approximately 1,171 individuals, including bank and fast food employees, and teachers.

Quezon City's public information office stated that walk-ins are not allowed to ensure sufficient supplies for pre-registered individuals.

Mayor Joy Belmonte has directed the vaccine registration mobile app company to upgrade its system to address reported concerns.

Valenzuela City has also extended its vaccination program until 10 p.m., inoculating 685 workers on its first day.

In Valenzuela, the Pasolo Elementary School will operate until evening, and employees must coordinate with the local government to avail of the night shift inoculation program.
