More than 500 market vendors and Commonwealth residents in Quezon City received their primary COVID-19 booster shots during the launch of PinasLakas booster vaccination drive of the local government unit and the Department of Health (DOH).

The event was led by Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte and DOH-Metro Manila Center for Health Development Regional Director Gloria Balboa.

“Imbis na papuntahin sa ibang vaccination site, nilalapit na mismo natin ‘yung bakuna sa mga market vendor para hindi na nila kailangan pang iwanan ang kani-kanilang puwesto na pinagkukuhanan nila ng panggastos para sa kanilang pamilya,” Belmonte said.

According to QC Task Force Vax to Normal Action Officer Dr. Maria Lourdes Eleria, they already started the week-long vaccination drive in markets in the city.

“Buong linggo tayong magbabakuna sa ating mga palengke at talipapa. Paraan natin ito para mas maging accessible ang vaccines at marami pang mabakunahang residente,” Eleria said.

QC already launched PinasLakas in schools, malls, health facilities, and vaccination sites.
