QC, Private Sector Partner For Faster Vaccine Rollout

The city opened on Monday a vaccination site at SM City North EDSA’s Skydome to cater to mall employees who fall under the A1 to A3 categories, particularly those who are medical frontliners, senior citizens and adults with comorbidities.

Mayor Joy Belmonte said the partnership allowed the mall operator to put together its own team of doctors and nurses to help inoculate those who are in the priority list of vaccine recipients.

Also vaccinated on-site were qualified senior citizen residents of Barangay Sto. Cristo, where the mall is located, and its nearby barangays.
