Pasig conducts house-to-house vaccination

A total of 1,431 Covid-19 booster shots have been administered to adult residents of Pasig City through a house-to-house vaccination (H2H) program as of March 27, according to a report by Manila Bulletin.

The H2H program is primarily led by a medical team from the Department of Health (DOH), and conducted with the assistance of Pasig Health Aides (PHAs) from the city’s barangay health centers.

Starting March 10, the vaccination program offered AstraZeneca booster shots to residents in selected barangays and areas in the city during Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.

The city’s Covid-19 tally recorded less than 50 active cases from March 10 until March 27, with minor fluctuations observed in between.
