Manila LGU holds booster vaccination for Divisoria market workers

Published Jan 6, 2022 01:51 pm

The City of Manila has started deploying coronavirus disease (COVID-19) booster shots for workers at the Divisoria market along Claro M. Recto Avenue in Tondo, Manila during a night vaccination drive on Wednesday, Jan. 5.

COVID-19 booster shots were deployed to Divisoria market employees including butchers, stall vendors, drivers, and porters starting at 7 p.m. on Jan. 5.

Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso and Vice Mayor Doctor Honey Lacuna were present at the Divisoria market to oversee the vaccination.

In total, 754 booster vaccine doses were deployed during the night vaccination: 200 doses of Sinovac, 50 of AstraZeneca, 300 of Pfizer, and 204 of Moderna, according to the city government.

“Panawagan namin ni Vice Mayor Honey, ni doktora, magpabakuna po kayo, magpabakuna po kayo, magpabakuna po kayo. Ito po ay magiging pandemya ng mga hindi bakunado. Pag hindi pa bakunado, most likely, mas mataas ang porsyento na mai-infect (Vice Mayor Honey and I want you to get vaccinated. This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. If you are unvaccinated, the chance of infection is higher),” Domagoso said to reporters.

Similarly, the Manila City Government also began offering free drive-thru booster vaccination to two-wheel vehicle couriers for services such as Grab, Angkas, Lalamove, Shopee, Mr. Speedy, FoodPanda, and Lazada on Thursday, Jan. 6.

Domagoso said that around seven out of 10 of the couriers who availed of the vaccination were not from Manila.

“Natutuwa tayo na ‘yung ating mga kababayan ay tumutugon sa panawagan ng pamahalaang lungsod na talagang kailangan ng i-booster 'yung mga bakunado. At biglang dumami ngayon ‘yung mga hindi taga Maynila na pumunta rito para magpabakuna kasi talagang di na sila pwede sa mall kapagka hindi sila vaccinated (We are happy that our countrymen are responding to the government’s call to get booster vaccination. Many non-residents of Manila have come here to get vaccinated because they can’t go to the malls unless they are vaccinated),” he added.
