TRANSPORTATION Secretary Arthur Tugade yesterday announced the Light Rail Transit Authority will hold vaccination drives at select LRT 2 stations starting February 22, Tuesday.
Tugade said the initiative is being held in partnership with the city governments of Manila and Antipolo and is intended to further ramp up the government vaccination campaign.
Tugade said vaccination booths will be erected at the Recto station every Tuesday and Thursday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and at the Antipolo station every Wednesday and Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. for the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine or booster shots.
He said interested parties should register via manilacovid19vaccine.ph for the Recto station vaccination and antipolobantaycovid.appcase.net for Antipolo.
LRTA Administrator Jeremy Regino said the vaccination sites at Recto and Antipolo will be compliant with the policies, protocols, and requirements of the Department of Health.
The LRTA provided booster shots, through the assistance of the Philippine Red Cross Bakuna Bus, at the LRT-2 depot last February 12 and the City Government of Manila at the Recto station last February 15 and 17.
