On Friday, May 20, the vaccination rollout will be at the Pasig City Sports Complex from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Due to the expected influx of people, the city health office said it will impose a cut off at around 3 p.m.

Senior citizens and frontliners who will avail of the second booster shot must have received their first booster dose four months prior.
They must present a vaccination card and their Pasig Pass QR code upon entry.
For frontliners, they must also bring their ID or Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) license.
Immunocompromised individuals are also allowed to avail of the booster dose in these scheduled dates, provided they can present a medical certificate stating their physician's recommendation for the second booster dose.
The Pfizer booster is the only available brand to be administered by the city health office in Pasig for the second dose.
