Market vendors, truck drivers, helpers, pedicab drivers, and porters from Northern Luzon, Central Luzon and Southern Luzon have been inoculated against COVID-19 in Manila on Sunday night.
The Manila city government has started the vaccination of workers at the Divisoria Night Market on Sunday (July 4) from 10:00 p.m. until 5:00 a.m. on Monday (July 5) in Recto, Manila.
Manila Mayor Francisco "Isko Moreno" Domagoso said the vaccination was held in Recto as some of the workers couldn't go to the vaccination sites during the day.
"Itong special vaccination na ito, ginawa po namin ito sa Recto para sa mga trabahador na hindi makapunta sa vaccination site tuwing araw dahil kailangan maghanap buhay (We did this special vaccination for workers that can't go to vaccinations site during the day because they need to work), " Domagoso said.
The vaccination is open to all those who are working at the Divisoria Night market.
According to Domagoso, there would be another vaccination for the workers on Monday night (July 5).
