Baywalk last January 26. The Rolling Bakuna program started its mobile vaccination in 2021 catering
to all barangays and various communities.
Mayor Ruffy Biazon encouraged Muntinlupeños to get vaccinated or avail of a booster shot to protect
themselves and the people around them especially from mutated variants of COVID-19. “We need to
think of the welfare of our community and loved ones as well,” he said.
The latest Omicron subvariant is reportedly more easily transmitted than previous versions of the
virus. Health authorities have advised Filipinos to get vaccinated in order to reduce the opportunity
for the COVID-19 coronavirus to mutate and remake itself as it gets passed from host to host.

enhance the effectiveness of the vaccine, which is designed mainly to reduce the chances of severe COVID.

call and so with the locally maintained vaccination sites in the city which are open daily.
