MANILA, Philippines — The Manila city government will start today its booster drive-through vaccination caravan for motorists.

Mayor Isko Moreno inspected the vaccination site at the Quirino Grandstand yesterday. He was joined by Vice Mayor Honey Lacuna and other local officials during the inspection.

“Due to the requests of our constituents, we initiated this drive-through vaccination in Rizal Park. Instead of first and second doses, we will use the site for booster vaccination,” Moreno said in a statement.

He said the local government would administer booster doses to motorists, both Manila residents and non-residents, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

City hall said the first 300 vehicles, with a maximum of five passengers per car, would be eligible for booster shots.

“The city government will administer 1,500 booster doses daily,” Moreno said.

Booster shots for delivery riders are also available at the Kartilya ng Katipunan inoculation site.
