Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto received his first dose of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine on Saturday.
Mayor Sotto mentioned that he was the 57,858th Pasig resident to be vaccinated.
He shared that while mayors are classified under the A1 priority group, he initially hesitated to get vaccinated to prioritize senior citizens and other high-risk individuals.
However, Sotto realized that vaccination is not only for personal protection but also for the safety of those he interacts with, given his work requires him to meet people and be on the ground.
He encouraged others to get vaccinated, emphasizing its importance for the community.
