Temporary vaccination facility soon to rise in Nayong Pilipino
MANILA, Philippines — The Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) has approved the construction of a vaccination facility at the Nayong Pilipino compound in Paranaque City, the Department of Tourism (DOT) confirmed Monday (April 12).
A DOT-attached agency, the Nayong Pilipino Foundation (NPF) agreed to use a vacant lot in the area to help in the government’s vaccination program.
“This is expected to be a game-changer in the vaccination program. The facility, which will be a public-private partnership, is expected to vaccinate at least 12,000 people a day,” the DOT said in a statement.
The project will be made possible through an agreement between the National Task Force against COVID-19 (NTF) and the Nayong Pilipino Foundation, whose board had already given its preliminary approval of the project to ensure its immediate execution.
