Isko inoculated with Sinovac after IATF nod

Manila City Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso got vaccinated with Sinovac’s COVID-19 vaccine on Sunday at the President Sergio Osmeña High School in Tondo.

Vice Mayor Honey Lacuna-Pangan, who is also a doctor, administered the vaccine.

As of Sunday, about 41,692 individuals have been vaccinated by the Manila City government through its city health department.

Domagoso said he immediately had himself inoculated after President Rodrigo Duterte and the Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) allowed mayors in high-risk areas to get vaccinated.

The mayor was the first elected official of the city to receive the vaccine, having been placed under the A1 priority group of medical frontline workers.

“I made a commitment to the people of Manila that I would get the Sinovac vaccine. A lot of Filipinos have doubts about Sinovac, so as a matter of commitment, I got vaccinated with it,” Domagoso said.

The mayor likewise said “any vaccine is welcome in the country. Whether it is Sinovac or any other brand, as long as it is approved by our regulatory bodies, we will use it.”

“If it is available then we will offer it to every Manileño and everyone else who wants to get vaccinated,” Domagoso told reporters in a press briefing.

He believes it was also “high time to get mayors vaccinated” as they have also been serving on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic, citing mayors who were infected with the COVID-19.

Domagoso said the city’s vaccine operations will continue as long as there is available supply. The local government was still carrying out vaccination activities amid the Holy Week.

“Due to the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ), we had to innovate to adapt to the situation. We have to continue to vaccinate. If the infection is fast, then the vaccination must be faster,” Domagoso said.

“I continue to be hopeful everyday that people would want to be vaccinated. We will vaccinate them as long as we have vaccines available. The most efficient vaccine is the one in your arm. So, if you are already qualified, please go to our vaccination sites,” he said.
