OLONGAPO CITY—About 100 more senior citizens in this city received their first dose of the vaccine against COVID-19 on Wednesday (Oct. 20), the local government said.
The elderly residents from Barangay Mabayuan were the latest to benefit from the city’s vaccination-on-wheel program that aims to reach senior citizens who could not go to the major vaccination sites.
