Mayor Isko Moreno said vaccination sites were set up in the city’s sixth districts to make the process more convenient for the elderly.
Around 150 elderly dialysis patients at the Gat Andres Bonifacio Memorial Medical Center (GABMMC) in Tondo were inoculated yesterday with AstraZeneca vaccines.
After health workers, seniors with comorbidities are at the top of the priority list as they are more vulnerable to COVID-19 infections, Moreno said.
The local government targets inoculating a total of 2,380 senior citizens in Manila.
“Those who have pre-registered will be prioritized. But seniors who are walk-in clients will not be turned away as long as there are available vaccines,” Moreno said.
