Presidential aspirant and Manila Mayor Francisco "Isko Moreno" Domagoso on Wednesday, Dec. 1, reiterated that the city of Manila is open even to non-residents in giving vaccines against the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
“Itong mga gamot na ito mahirap makita sa mundo, mahirap talaga. Kahit mayaman hindi makabili nito, pano pa ang mahirap. Kapag nagka-COVID kayo, nag-alala kayo, nanganganib ang mahal ninyo sa buhay huwag kayong mahihiya sa Lungsod ng Maynila kasi niyayakap namin ang bawat tao sa loob at labas ng Lungsod ng Maynila (These drugs are hard to find in the world, really hard. Even the rich cannot have access to it, more so the poor. When you catch COVID, you are worried, your loved ones are in danger. Don't be ashamed (to ask for help) in Manila because we would like to help every person inside and outside of the city ),” Domagoso said during his dialogue with farmers and transport groups in Talavera, Nueva Ecija.
“Binanggit ko iyan kasi hindi ko alam, hindi ko kayang hulaan ang mangyayari bukas kung tayo ay mangangailangan. Pero kung sakali lang kumatok lang kayo, welcome kayo sa Maynila (I mentioned that because I don't know, I can't predict what will happen tomorrow if we are in need. But just in case you knock and ask for help, you are welcome),” Domagoso said.
The city government has a ready supply of COVID-19 vaccines such as Remdesivir, Tocilizumab, Molnupiraivir, and Baricitinib.
Around 40,000 capsules of Molnupiravir were delivered to the Sta. Ana Hospital in Manila last Nov. 22.
Early this week, at least 6,000 capsules of Baricitinib were also delivered to the city.
