Manila suspends vaccination rollout
MANILA, Philippines — The Manila government suspended yesterday the operations of COVID-19 vaccination sites in the city.
Public information office chief Julius Leonen said the city’s online vaccine registration system encountered technical problems.
“The Manila Health Department (MHD) suspended the vaccination for first and second doses,” Leonen said.
He could not give an exact date when the vaccination centers would resume operations.
MHD chief Dr. Arnold Pangan said they are investigating why the online vaccine registration system bogged down.
The local government was supposed to start yesterday its walk-in policy for first dose vaccine recipients belonging to the A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5 priority groups at 45 health centers in the city’s six districts.
The city government deployed 1,000 vaccine doses at four inoculation sites in malls prior to the suspension of the vaccine rollout.
