MANILA, Philippines — The Navotas government will start today the vaccination of eligible minors both with and without comorbidities.

Mayor Toby Tiangco said minors aged 12 to 17 would be inoculated despite comorbidity status.

Parents should register their children instead of walking in at the vaccination sites to avoid overcrowding, Tiangco said.

The minors will be inoculated with Pfizer vaccines, he said.
