The Supreme Court has instructed all trial court judges and their personnel who would like to avail of COVID-19 vaccines to register online not later than April 22.

In a circular, Court Administrator Jose Midas Marquez stressed that enlistment with the SC’s Office of the Court Administrator can be done through https://tinyurl.com/6y3xnbnw.

“If the city or municipality of their place of residence is not included in the drop down of the link, they can choose the nearest city or municipality from their residence where they intend to register and be inoculated, considering that the inoculation is residence-based,” Marquez said.

The SC explained that the information relayed to OCA will be shared with the National Task Force against COVID-19 to assure sufficient supply of vaccines.

During his first online town hall meeting with all trial court judges and court personnel on April 13, Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo vowed to address all their concerns on COVID-19.

“We assure you that the Court en banc will study the issues that you raised and will pass and approve appropriate issuances in due time,” Gesmundo said.

About 30,000 officials and employees of the judiciary have been included by the NTF in the priority population group A4 of the Philippine National Deployment and Vaccination Plan for COVID-19 Vaccines.

Last April 5, the SC wrote the NTF for the inclusion of all judiciary officials and employees in the priority population group A4.

Vaccinations for category A4 are scheduled to start in May.
