San Juan City opens free COVID-19 vaccine registration

San Juan City has initiated its free COVID-19 vaccination registration for residents, with Mayor Francis Zamora affirming the local government's commitment to providing vaccines.

As of Tuesday afternoon, 4,049 residents had registered online, and the mayor anticipates this number to increase with manual registrations.

Residents can sign up through an online form, health centers, or barangay halls.

The city has set aside P50 million for vaccine procurement and is prioritizing the acquisition of effective vaccines from reputable pharmaceutical companies.

Mayor Zamora assured that the city's vaccine program is open to all residents, regardless of social status, and that partnerships are being formed with the national government and pharmaceutical firms.

The local government will select vaccines based on the pharmaceutical company's reputation, vaccine efficacy, and compliance with international and local standards.
