When the pandemic hit last year, many people have experienced despair over the number of deaths caused by the virus. Fortunately this year, COVID-19 vaccines have been created amid our ongoing battle against the contagion. This in turn made the world more optimistic, citing its progress in a slow and steady race against COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Even in the Philippines, the initial rollout of vaccines is now happening. But the situation remains worrisome for many Filipinos: how will they get vaccinated?\u00a0 That\u2019s why we are answering the how, who, when, and where of the subject matter.<\/p>\n

HOW<\/h3>\n

Vaccination isn\u2019t mandatory, but highly recommended to protect you and your loved ones against the virus. Most people ask, “Where and how do go I get vaccinated?”\u00a0<\/span>According to the Department of Health<\/b> (DOH)<\/strong>, you must register on their master list first. On the DOH’s website<\/a>, you\u2019ll find a section where you need to input your information. Take note, you must disclose your true personal information. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your local government units or zones will determine the scheduling for vaccination. The Vaccine Information Management System<\/b> (VIMS)<\/strong> <\/a>platform shall be used for scheduling, notifying, and reminding individuals of their appointment. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

WHO<\/b><\/h3>\n

There is a limited supply of vaccines all over the world. In fact, 80% of global stocks have been bought by high-income countries already. Given the situation and through the recommendation of the World Health Organization (WHO), the prioritization framework for COVID-19 vaccination was created. With the guidance of this principle, the Philippine National Deployment and Vaccination Plan<\/b> formulated strategies and contingencies to ensure the equal distribution of vaccines to all Filipinos.<\/p>\n

WHEN<\/b><\/h3>\n

The objective is to provide equitable access to safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines to the priority eligible groups or almost 70 million Filipinos by 2021, 60-70% of Filipinos by 2022, and followed by the remaining Filipino population in the next three (3) years.<\/p>\n

WHERE<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Currently, there are 30 cities that have been designated for the initial rollout of the vaccines. Being in touch with your respective local government unit is very important to get updated.<\/p>\n
