Recognizing that many workers in the city cannot take off work or don’t have time to visit a vaccination site during the day, the Quezon City government has launched a vaccination program that opens at 6 p.m. or after working hours.
Dubbed as ‘QC Bakuna Nights’, the program aims to expand the reach of the city and immunize workers whose only free time is in the evening.
“Para ito sa mga manggagawa natin na hindi naman makaliban sa kanilang trabaho para makapagpabakuna.”
“Para ito sa mga manggagawa natin na hindi naman makaliban sa kanilang trabaho para makapagpabakuna sa karaniwang oras na 8am-5pm, lalo na ‘yung mga arawan ang sahod,” Mayor Joy Belmonte said.
“We will inoculate them at a time most convenient to them.”
“Ngayon, hindi na nila kailangang mamili kung arawang kita ba muna o bakuna. We will inoculate them at a time most convenient to them,” Belmonte added.
On the first night of the program, around 2,000 pre-registered frontline personnel in essential sectors or those belonging in the A4 priority group were inoculated at the Quezon City Hall Grounds.
