MANILA, Philippines — The Makati City government will require the registration of vaccination sites to be put up by private firms in the coming months to ensure they will meet the standards set by the Department of Health.

This came after the city council passed City Ordinance No. 2021-094, or the “COVID-19 Vaccination Site Standardization Protocol and Registration Process.”

“We anticipate the private sector to put up their own vaccination sites for employees with the imminent arrival of vaccines they purchased. As early as now, we have laid down the guidelines to make sure that these facilities will meet the standards set by the national government,” Mayor Abby Binay said in a statement. \
