Parañaque City Mayor Eric Olivarez urged residents to get vaccinated against Covid-19 at their barangay health centers in order for the city to attain zero or only single digit numbers of Covid cases.

The mayor said this as the city government resumed Covid-19 vaccinations in all of the 16 barangays after it was temporarily stopped during the whole month of May due to the launch of the "Chikiting Ligtas" vaccination campaign against polio, rubella, and measles.

Olivarez said the vaccination against Covid-19 is open to all barangays for children aged five years old and above for their first and second dose; first booster shot for 12 years old and above; second booster shot for 18 years old and above.

He told residents to always check the announcements on the vaccination schedules at their barangays and or other vaccination sites.

The mayor also reminded residents who will be receiving vaccines to always follow the minimum public health protocols to avoid the spread of the disease.

The City Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit (CESU) reported 13 active cases on June 9, with 16 recoveries.

Among the 16 villages, Barangay Marcelo Green recorded the highest number of Covid-19 cases with 10; followed by San Antonio with eight; Moonwalk with six, and Don Bosco with four; all located in District II.

The mayor said the other villages in  District II with new Covid-19 cases were Barangays BF Homes with two; San Martin de Porres and Sun Valley both with two cases, while Merville with zero case.

In District I Barangays Don Galo and La Huerta both logged two cases; Baclaran, San Dionisio, San Isidro and Vitalez all had one case, while Sto. Nino and Tambo both had zero cases.
