How to sign up for COVID-19 vaccination in Metro Manila's 17 LGUs

Amid the rising cases of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the country, many are wondering if and when they can get access to a vaccine.

Currently, the Philippines has two vaccines: AstraZeneca and Sinovac. Local government units have started inoculating residents based on priority status, with medical frontliners (A1), senior citizens (A2), and persons with comorbidities (A3) at the top of the list.

According to the Department of Health, the A3 group includes adults aged 18 to 59 with “any controlled comorbidity,” but priority will be given to those with following:

1. Chronic respiratory disease
2. Hypertension
3. Cardiovascular disease
4. Chronic kidney disease
5. Malignancy (cancer)
6. Diabetes
7. Obesity
8. Cerebrovascular disease
9. Chronic liver disease
10. Neurologic disease
11. Immunodeficiency state

Due to the vaccine shortage, however, only patients with the first seven listed comorbidities will be prioritized for now as they are at highest risk of hospitalization and death.

Those in the A3 group must show any of the following documents as proof of comorbidity, with some LGUs preferring the first two documents:

• Medical certificate issued within the last 18 months
• Medical prescription issued within the last six months
• Hospital records such as discharge summary and medical abstract
• Surgical records and pathology reports

Meanwhile, some persons with comorbidities need to provide a medical clearance from their doctor before they can get vaccinated. These are patients with the following:

• Autoimmune disease
• HIV
• Malignancy (cancer)
• Transplant patients
• Undergoing steroid treatment
• Poor prognosis or bed-ridden

If you belong to the priority groups, you can sign up for vaccination with your LGU. 

Regardless of your city, it would be wise to bring supporting documents with you so you can be vaccinated without delay. In summary, here is what you need:

• Valid ID with address
• Proof you belong to a priority group
  • A1: PRC ID, company ID, certificate of employment
  • A2: Senior citizen ID, NSO birth certificate, valid ID with birthdate
  • A3: Proof of comorbidity and medical clearance
• Proof of vaccine appointment or pre-registration
• Ballpen, face mask, and face shield
