Filipinos flock to vax sites amid ECQ fears

People flocked to various COVID-19 vaccination sites in Metro Manila, with some areas doubling daily vaccinations.

MMDA chair Benhur Abalos said the city's goal is to vaccinate 250,000 people per day during the two-week enhanced community quarantine.

DILG undersecretary Jonathan Malaya suspects sabotage behind the crowding at vaccination sites.

Manila officials blamed fake news for the influx of unregistered individuals seeking vaccines.

Queues formed early Thursday morning before the start of ECQ, with some sites postponing vaccinations due to safety concerns.
