MANILA - President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday said public schools can serve as vaccination centers when the government finally rolls out its mass inoculation program against COVID-19.

Duterte said in a public briefing that local government officials can use public schools in urban areas to accommodate immunization programs if there are no suitable venues like gymnasiums.

He also reiterated his earlier order that police stations and military camps can serve as vaccination centers in far-flung areas. When asked to clarify if the vaccination would start on Feb. 15, Roque said, "If it arrives--and we only need a day or 2 naman to start the vaccination, we will proceed."
