The City Government of Bacolod will open two additional vaccination centers in malls in the city.

Councilor Renecito Novero, member of Bacolod Covid-19 vaccination council, said they inspected yesterday the City Mall-Mandalagan and City Mall-Goldenfield to be additional vaccination centers.

He said the management of City Mall-Mandalagan already agreed to be one of the venues for the vaccination program and set to open today or tomorrow while the City Mall-Golden will be utilized maybe next week.

“The management of City Mall-Goldenfield still needs to talk with their tenants who will be affected by the vaccination program inside the mall,” he added.

On Monday, hundreds of people waited in a long queue outside and inside the SM City Bacolod and Ayala Malls Capitol Central. Some of them expressed their disappointment and posted it on social media for alleged unorganized vaccination centers in said areas.

The city has an ongoing vaccine rollout in Ayala Malls Capitol Central, Robinsons Place Bacolod, and SMX Convention Center as well as in 27 other vaccination centers in various barangays.

Aside from these three malls, Novero said the opening of two other malls will be a big help to avoid a long queue in said malls.

He said many people now want to be vaccinated and the city should prepare for it to accommodate them.

He added the City Mall-Mandalagan can accommodate the residents along Barangays Banago, Mandalagan and Bata while the City Mall-Goldenfield can also accommodate residents in the areas of Barangays Singcang-Airport, Sum-ag, Punta Taytay, and Alijis.

City Administrator Em Ang, executive director of the EOC, earlier said that they will no longer cater the walk-ins in vaccination centers starting yesterday.

“We urged the public to wait to be notified of their schedule through text by the vaccination team. You may also go to the barangay vaccination centers to avail free Covid-19 vaccines,” she said.
