Mayor Emi Calxto-Rubiano said Andres Bonifacio Elementary School and Corazon High School were targeting to inoculate a total of 700 individuals 18 to 59 years old with co-morbidity.

Rubiano said 170 remaining frontliners will be inoculated at the Pasay City West High School and 770 senior citizens at the Timoteo Paez Elementary School.

She said the city is expecting to finish the inoculation of the 1,640 individuals before Holy Thursday.

She added that senior citizens will be given the AstraZeneca vaccines while those with co-morbidity and the remaining frontliners will be given Sinovac jabs.

To avoid confusion on who will qualify for the vaccination for non-senior citizens under the age bracket of 18 to 59, the Public Information Office headed by Jun Burgos posted on its Facebook page called "VACC to the Future" the requirements needed for them to get vaccinated.

Any individual with co-morbidity needs to submit a medical certificate, prescription of maintenance medicine, hospital records like discharge summary or medical abstract, and surgical records or pathology reports.
