More than a million COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered in Taguig City since it began its vaccination program in March.

In a statement, the city government said a total of 1,015,029 jabs have been administered as of September 7.

"Taguig City attributes this milestone to the hard work of every healthcare and essential worker in the City who has largely contributed to contact tracing, vaccination efforts, and Taguig's continuous implementation of the Prevent-Detect-Isolate-Treat-Reintegrate (PDITR) strategy versus COVID-19," it said in a statement.

"Alongside the local government’s aggressive vaccination efforts in all vaccination hubs, Taguig will continue to focus on community-based vaccination through the Taguig Mobile Vaccination Bus, Mobile Vaccination Team, and Home Service Vaccination for bedridden citizens," it added.

Taguig City joined Quezon City, Manila, and Caloocan City among the cities in the country to hit the one million-mark in their vaccination rollout. — Ma. Angelica Garcia/BM, GMA News
