CEBU CITY, Philippines -- The Cebu City Health Department (CHD) reminds the guardians of minors who are set to be vaccinated starting November 8, 2021, that they must bring all necessary documents

These include identification cards of both minor and parent and medical certificates for minors with co-morbidities. A birth certificate, baptismal certificate, or barangay certificate signed by the village chief may suffice for those with no IDs. “Di man pud na madugay ang vaccination. Atong target kay 15 to 20 minutes humana. Diri lang sila madugay sa monitoring kay 30 minutes man,” said Doctor Jeffrey Ibones, the officer-in-charge of the CHD.

This is for the minors, whose parents are not with them, working abroad or other parts of the country, and cannot go home in time for the vaccination.
