Around 1,000 students, aged 12 to 17, are set to be vaccinated during the mass private school pediatric inoculation in Pasig City on Thursday, Nov. 11.
The Pasig City government, in collaboration with the Pasig Alliance of Private School Administrators (PAPRISA), which has over 100 private school members, aims to vaccinate 1,000 students from PAPRISA schools.
Three sites have been designated for the pediatric vaccination -- the Pasig Sports Center, Tanghalang Pasigueño theatre, and Buting Elementary School.
