CNN Philippines breaks down all the things you should know as you prepare to get your COVID-19 shot 💉

The review of cases per region may be recalibrated every month by NITAG, along with other indicators such as the number of active cases in recent four weeks and the proportion of those who became ill after an exposure per 100,000 population in recent four weeks.Vaccine czar Carlito Galvez, Jr. earlier said that the country is targeting to secure this year up to 148 million doses, enough to vaccinate 70 million Filipinos.

The Philippines may also be able to access 5.5 million to up to 9.2 million doses of AstraZeneca vaccines made in South Korea by late February or early March — if WHO includes it in the emergency use listing, a procedure done to review its eligibility prior to its delivery. The vaccines will be delivered from the supplier to the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine in Metro Manila, which will pass it on to the regional warehouses before they are delivered to local government units. LGUs will then be the ones to allocate the vaccines to COVID-19 designated hospitals, medical centers and clinics.

LGUs will compile and submit the digitized information primarily through the COVID-19 Electronic Immunization Registry as the official platform or ceir.doh.gov.ph. Vaccinees must provide their name, birthday, sex, address, profession, and unique identifiers such as their QR code, their PhilHealth number or IDs.Those who have successfully registered for the vaccination drive will be provided with their vaccination date and time schedule and an immunization card with a QR code which shall be brought to the vaccination site. One must first be notified of his successful registration before proceeding to the site. Walk-ins will not be allowed, the DOH says.

When his turn is up, the vaccinee must first undergo registration to present his documents and for the scanning of his QR code. He will then be directed to a health education area within the same site where he can consult with the vaccination team or browse through educational materials for any queries. He will also be asked to sign a consent form to express their approval to get vaccinated.
