THE PHILIPPINE Red Cross has set up five accredited pediatric vaccination sites to help the government speed up the inoculation of minors.

These jab sites are at the PRC Tarlac City Walk Mall, PRC Bataan-Penelco, PRC Zamboanga City Chapter, PRC PLMC Mandaluyong, and PRC Manila Letran.

“These Bakuna Centers now have the green light to vaccinate children without comorbidities aged 12-17 years old. The more people we vaccinate, the closer we are to reaching herd immunity,” PRC Chairman and CEO Senator Richard ‘Dick’  Gordon said.

The senator expressed hope that more children can get vaccinated.

“The Red Cross has always gone out to bring vaccines to the people, and always assures them of the safety and efficacy of vaccination,” he said. “Together, let us win our war against Covid19.”
