The Manila city government resumed its mass vaccination for A1 to A5 priority groups on Wednesday, June 30.
Manila Mayor Francisco "Isko Moreno" Domagoso said that the Certificate of Analysis (COA) for the vaccines has been received by the city government.
The vaccination in the city was halted for about five days due to the lack of COA "as part of the quality assurance and safety prior to its use."
The city government will use its purchased Sinovac vaccines which arrived on June 24.

"We will reach as many people as possible. We will protect as many people as possible, as soon as possible. We need protection, you need protection," Domagoso said.

Each vaccination site in Districts 1 to 6 will have 1,000 doses each.
The city's mall vaccination sites will administer the 2nd dose to A1, A2, and A3 priority groups.
