The local government of Malabon City is spending the bulk of its P200 M vaccine fund to purchase the AstraZeneca vaccine once it becomes available.
Bong Padua, the head of the Public Information Office said the LGU is allocating P100 M to purchase AstraZeneca vaccines while the remaining amount will be used to buy other available vaccines.
While waiting for the vaccines, barangay officials are conducting a census to determine the exact number of residents to be inoculated.
