A TOTAL of 8,904 persons in Bacolod City already received their second doses of Sinovac and AstraZeneca vaccines against coronavirus disease (Covid-19).
Emergency Operations Center (EOC) records showed from March 5 to June 8, a total of 8,904 persons under priority groups A1 to A3 already received their second doses of Sinovac and AstraZeneca vaccines.
In the same period, the EOC administered a total of 21,876 doses of AstraZeneca vaccines and 17,356 doses of Sinovac vaccines.
The City Government earlier received an additional 17, 000 doses of Sinovac vaccines from the national government.
The City has an ongoing vaccination rollout at SM City Bacolod and Ayala Malls Capitol Central.
The vaccination centers will accommodate the healthcare workers (A1), senior citizens (A2), and persons with comorbidities (A3) eligible priority groups who have yet to receive Covid-19 vaccine jabs.
Vice Mayor El Cid Familiaran, chairman of Bacolod City Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF), earlier said the additional vaccines will be administered to the priority groups A1 and A3.
He said they are still waiting for the guidelines to inoculate the priority group under A4.
He added the national government earlier announced that they may start the vaccination this month for the priority group A4, but for the city, they have not yet received a copy of the guidelines for the said group.
A4 group covers frontliners, government employees, essential workers, and uniformed personnel.
The City will accommodate only those who have completed their vaccination registration and have received a call or text from the Emergency Operations Center of their confirmed appointments.
