This is in accordance with the [announcement made by the Department of Health (DOH) allowing the second booster vaccination for individuals aged 18 and above.](https://mb.com.ph/2023/4/18/lg-us-may-begin-rollout-of-covid-19-2nd-booster-shot-for-general-population-doh?fbclid=IwAR0QIPEb9kSWfP1Ai349vQ2zuJVG4TXKW3V-5HVlqssb_5m3MoR1D9MAFv4) In the past months, the second Covid booster was reserved for medical frontliners, senior citizens, and persons with comorbidities. With the supervision of DOH officials, San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora was inoculated with the second booster shot during the launch. (San Juan City PIO / MANILA BULLETIN)
“I am very thankful that the general population has been allowed the second booster shot against Covid-19 because this is an added protection to our people who are already trying to overcome the effects of the pandemic,” Zamora said. “Mahalagang tulong ito sa ating mga bumabangon mula sa pagkakadapa dahil sa pandemya (This is a big help to us as we recover from the adversities we faced during the pandemic),” he added. Since the National Capital Region (NCR) has been placed under Alert Level 1, Zamora cautioned the public against the resurging cases of Covid-19, and encouraged them to get their booster shots. San Juan residents can register in the city’s vaccine registration program for their booster shots through this link ([https://vaxreg.sanjuancity.gov.ph/vaccine\_registration/public/?fbclid=IwAR1KpCJ5nUBNCwrdl-ZEN9agYCBjeB\_GtU\_rcKfa1\_Gx4K3ZPDbfOTlQ2UQ](https://vaxreg.sanjuancity.gov.ph/vaccine_registration/public/?fbclid=IwAR1KpCJ5nUBNCwrdl-ZEN9agYCBjeB_GtU_rcKfa1_Gx4K3ZPDbfOTlQ2UQ)). According to the DOH, non-immunocompromised adults who received their first booster shot six months prior can get the second booster. DOH Undersecretary and Officer-in-Charge Maria Rosario Vergeire has said that the second booster shot can also be administered to pregnant and lactating adult women, as well as to immunocompromised adults “regardless of their priority group classification.” The available vaccines for the second booster shot are Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca.
