Paranaque residents advised to get 2nd booster shots

Parañaque City Mayor Eric Olivarez urged Parañaqueños to get their second booster against Covid-19 after the city government recorded only 13 percent or 46,000 residents have been boosted, according to a report by Manila Bulletin.

Olivarez reminded them that the city was the No. 6 city in the Philippines with the highest vaccination rate with 156 percent given the first dose and 151 percent with the second dose.

He ordered the City Health Office (CHO) to disseminate information to all Parañaqueños on the importance of getting the booster shot.

The mayor said vaccinations against Covid-19 will continue in the different vaccination sites and in the 16 barangay health centers in the city.

Olivarez said there is also a one-stop-shop medical caravan organized by the city government to go around the city and render basic medical services as well as administer Covid-19 vaccines to those who are unable to go to the vaccination sites.

He said the schedule of the medical caravan was posted in the Facebook page of the Public Information Office.
