The Makati City government will launch an online registration portal in the coming weeks to determine the number of COVID-19 vaccines needed by the city, Mayor Abigail “Abby” Binay said.
The city government did not disclose the exact date when the portal will be available.
The Makati local government unit (LGU) intends to inoculate all Makati residents, including non-voters who dwell in the city.
Binay said residents and non-residents who work in Makati City who will be vaccinated will undergo online registration, counselling, screening, vaccination, and post-vaccination monitoring.
The city government has purchased 42 biomedical refrigerators and laboratory freezers to ensure the proper and safe storage of the COVID-19 vaccines, the mayor said on Monday, February 8.
The vaccine refrigerators and freezers, she said, will be placed in a vaccine depot being built at the Makati City Hall quadrangle.
In January, Binay announced that the city has allotted P1 billion for the purchase of COVID-19 vaccines for residents, non-resident workers, and business owners.
