OLONGAPO CITY—About 200 more residents here received their second dose of Coronovac (Sinovac) shots as the City resumed Wednesday its COVID-19 vaccine rollout on Wednesday.
Most of those who returned to the vaccine site at the SMX Convention Center of SM Olongapo Central to complete their jabs were senior citizens and residents with ailments.
