The vaccination in Manila is from Sunday night to Monday morning for the special inoculation of vendors, pedicab drivers, porters, and other workers in Divisoria.
The vaccination was done at the corner of Recto and Juan Luna Street in Tondo.
According to Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso, many of them are still not vaccinated because they cannot go to the vaccination sites in the morning because they are busy working.
Even non-Manila truck drivers and firefighters can line up to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
Because Divisoria is flooded with vegetables, fish, meat, and fruits, some people from Northern, Central, and Southern Luzon are staying and must be protected from COVID-19.
About 1,000 doses of Sinovac are available for the vaccine, according to Dr. Arnold Pangan, head of the Manila Health Department.
The sidewalk was lined with tents and chairs for the line of vaccinators.
They will go through registration and get vital signs before being vaccinated.
There is also a reserved holding area while they are observed after being injected.
Meanwhile, vaccination is limited in Makati and Muntinlupa cities this Monday due to the lack of supply of COVID-19 vaccine.

According to the announcement by the Makati City local government, there will be no vaccination for the first dose for the A4 Category or those economic frontliners or workers this Monday.
Meanwhile, in Muntinlupa, walk-ins at vaccination sites have been banned since Monday. This is also due to the limited supply of the vaccine.
There are only a few vaccines today for the first dose, and you need to receive a text message before going to the vaccination site.
The National Task Force Against COVID-19 reported Monday that over 2.8 million Filipinos had been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 since inoculation started in March.

The government was able to administer an average of 254,141 doses daily over the past week.
A total of 8,839,124 people have received the first dose COVID-19 vaccine, while 2,868,905 are now fully vaccinated.
