Those who have previously signed up in an older volunteer registration system and want to help again needed to register using a new form along with the aspiring ones.
Volunteers who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19 will receive a jab.
They will also have certificates saying that they are allowed to travel to and from the vaccination site during the enhanced community quarantine.
Aspiring volunteers (old and new) can sign up in this form.
The Quezon City government recently partnered with UP Diliman to set up an additional COVID-19 vaccination site at the UP College of Human Kinetics (CHK) gym.
OCTA research fellow and UP Professor Ranjit Rye previously said that the CHK gym is an “ideal” site because it’s a “very big gym” that can accommodate lots of people.
