In a safety officer webinar on Tuesday, August 31, Incident Management Team (IMT) commander Dr. Dean Palanca said the mega-vaccination site at the City Coliseum would take any category from Tuesdays through Saturday afternoons, as long as walk-ins have QR codes.
“Willing na ang City Coliseum magtanggap ng mga walk-in. Ang maganda lang na mayroon tayong QR code. Kahit wala ka pang schedule, kahit A5 ka pa, ipakita lang ninyo ang QR code ninyo. ‘Yong mga wala pang QR code, mag-register na,” he said.
Second doses of Pfizer and Sinovac will be administered on September 2 at the City Coliseum mega-vaccination site and at SM City Puerto Princesa. The recipients of Gamaleya Sputnik V’s second dosage, on the other hand, have yet to be scheduled.
