MANDALUYONG CITY -- Helping boost the country's vaccination initiative, the Philippine Red Cross(PRC) now has five accredited pediatric vaccination sites as of November 10, 2021; 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, " said Chairman and CEO Senator Dick Gordon.

Just as the PRC has played a big role in the nationwide measles and polio vaccination in partnership with the Department of Health, Gordon also hopes that more children can get vaccinated now as they are also at risk.
"The Red Cross has always gone out to bring vaccines to the people, and always assures them of the safety and efficacy of vaccination. Together, let us win our war against COVID-19, " Gordon said.

Right now, only Pfizer and Moderna have EUA for pediatric usage.
