The City Government is set to vaccinate the 12 to 17 age group from November 5 to November 15, 2021 through the Sundo Bakuna sa Barangay vaccination program launched by Lazatin.
Lazatin said the vaccination of all minors in the 33 barangays will be finished in 10 days, fetching them from home and taking them to the city's two mega vaccination sites -- the City College of Angeles and the Angeles City National High School.
Lazatin's Chief Adviser IC Calaguas explained that the following schedule per barangay, guidelines and requirements for the vaccination on minors are posted on the City Information Office Facebook page.
Lazatin earlier appealed to the City's public and private schools to excuse students who are scheduled for vaccination through the City's Sundo Bakuna program. (PR)
