DOH sets up vaccine sites near polling places for May 9

The DOH has set up vaccination centers near polling places for voters to get their first doses, second doses, and booster shots after casting their ballots on May 9.

Health Undersecretary Myrna Cabotaje encouraged individuals aged 18 and above who have not yet received any COVID-19 vaccines to visit these sites.

Voters can bring their vaccination cards and valid IDs to determine the appropriate interval for doses or receive booster shots.

The Comelec approved setting up these centers at least 30 meters away from voting precincts, with health stations nearby to assist voters feeling unwell.
