The first day of the vaccination was held at Navotas City Hospital.

“We are finally able to start the immunization of children against COVID-19. They are now offered the same protection like us adults. They will now have the same privileges that only vaccinated individuals enjoy. And soon, going back to school and attending physical classes will be a reality,” Mayor Toby Tiangco said.

Individuals under the said category may register online at https://tinyurl.com/NavoBakuna-minors or they may visit their local health centers to register.

Registrants will receive a text message for their scheduled vaccination.

Minors must be accompanied by their parents/guardians and must present a medical certificate from a pediatrician. They must also show documents establishing the relationship of the minors and their accompanying adults, according to the city government.
