IATF officials, through the so-called Coordinated Operations to Defeat Epidemic Team Visit, have been making the rounds of cities and municipalities in Metro Manila ahead of the arrival of COVID-19 vaccines.
In Navotas, Duque and IATF co-chair Karlo Nograles inaugurated a cold storage facility the city has set up within school grounds — in The Navotas Polytechnic College. Navotas health officials said on Saturday that it also made arrangements for the purchase of 10,000 doses of Moderna vaccine, and another 40,000 doses of Pfizer under COVAX, an alliance led by the World Health Organization to give poor nations access to the vaccine.
City health officials said the target is to give 107,000 Navotenos a dose, including those working in the city. They have drawn up a master list of who gets the vaccine, while beefing up an information campaign to convince those in the roster to take it. A vial of Pfizer is good for three doses, so planners try to avoid wastage.
