SENIOR citizens awaiting their turn in the government’s vaccination program as part of the country’s Covid-19 response were glad to hear they were next in line.
They are next following the vaccination in March 2021 of 1.7 million health workers. Those aged 60 and above and people of any age with underlying health conditions or comorbidities such as hypertension, diabetes or asthma fall under Category A2 of the government’s prioritization framework.
Some local government units (LGUs) in Metro Manila have started injecting them with the vaccine against the Sars-CoV-2 that causes the coronavirus disease (Covid-19). In Cebu City, the LGU has started the registration of those next in line.
