Vaccination in Taguig (Taguig City government)
In an announcement Saturday, the city government said, “The administration of Sinovac second doses on Monday, July 12, 2021, will be deferred to a later date. We assure everyone that Sinovac second doses may still be given beyond the date indicated on your vaccination cards.”
“The Department of Health has determined that the administration of second doses of COVID-19 vaccines is acceptable 3 to 6 months after administration of the first dose,” it added.
Last July 7, Taguig suspended the first dose vaccination using Sinovac for two weeks due to lack of new supply.
It cited Advisory No. 62 dated July 4 issued by Sec. Carlito Galvez Jr. and Sec. Vince Dizon of the National Task Force Against COVID-19, which advised local government units (LGUs) and local vaccination operation centers (LVOCs) about the delay in the arrival of Sinovac and Sputnik V vaccines in the country.
