QC begins vaccination for seniors
Quezon City (QC) has reserved its remaining 2,000 doses of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines specifically for its senior citizens as it awaits further supplies.
This decision aims to prioritize the vaccination of the elderly, following the inoculation of medical front-liners.
While QC also has Sinovac vaccines, the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) does not recommend them for senior citizens.
The QC government is encouraging all residents to pre-register for COVID-19 vaccination to streamline the process.
Residents can register through Online Self-Booking via the EZConsult website or through Assisted Booking, which requires a QCitizen ID Card.
