In a series of photos uploaded on its official Facebook account, the city government showcased the center’s facilities and data encoding technologies. The Vaccine Command Center houses the personnel involved in the day-to-day operations of the Vaccination Team. Currently, the site is being occupied by members of the Operations Center, profilers, encoders, and nurses.
One part of the center was dedicated to the Pasig Health Monitor, which is the city’s health information management and monitoring system that will be used in the pre-vaccination phase of the Vaccination Plan, specifically in terms of databasing citizen’s health information relevant to COVID-19 vaccination.

“We have a total of P150 million in our public assistance center. This is not just specific for COVID-19. This is basically a pool of funds that we use for medical assistance. If and when a constituent will need medical attention because of any vaccine side effects, then we can basically just throw out the funds from this P150 million that we have allocated this year,” San Juan City Mayor Francisco Zamora said in an interview with ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC).
The city was previously praised by the Coordinated Operations to Defeat Epidemic (CODE) Team during its visit last February 10 after yielding the highest number of COVID-19 vaccine registrants among cities in the National Capital Region (NCR), and the steadfast information drives and seminars the city government is conducting to allay the residents’ fears and apprehensions over the vaccines.
The Pasig City government formally launched on Monday its COVID-19 Vaccination Command Center to ensure the smooth and efficient rollout of its COVID-19 vaccination plan.
