2. COVID-19 VACCINATIONS UPDATES:



VA Manila is reaching the end of our very successful first wave of COVID-19 vaccinations. By tomorrow, Saturday, May 29, 2021, the VA Manila Outpatient Clinic will have vaccinated approximately 20% of the enrolled Veteran population at the VA Manila Outpatient Clinic, all in just the last six weeks. This has been a tremendous undertaking and would not have been possible without the commitment and dedication of the VA Manila’s superb pharmacy, physician, nursing, and administrative staff. They have worked tirelessly to schedule vaccine appointments, administer vaccines, and ensure that every possible dose of vaccine that we had was able to be used.


VA Manila is currently working with VA leadership in Washington, DC to coordinate the shipment and delivery of a second batch of COVID-19 vaccines. While we do not yet have a confirmed date for delivery, we are actively planning and intend to administer vaccines as quickly and safely as possible once the next shipment is received.


For the second shipment, the VA Manila Outpatient Clinic is requesting the Janssen / Johnson and Johnson (J&J) vaccine. This is a one-dose vaccine option is preferred by our Veteran population in the Philippines who need to travel to Manila to receive the vaccine. Being able to complete their COVID-19 vaccination with just one visit to the Clinic, rather than two, allows us to vaccinate twice as many people as compared to a vaccine option which requires a second dose (such as Pfizer-BioNTech). The Janssen / J&J vaccine has been granted Emergency Use Authorization by both the United States and Philippines Food and Drug Administration, respectively, and is considered highly safe and effective.

There was no schedule at mine. I got there first, then an older woman showed up. Some people knew it started at 9am. I would point to the older woman and say she's first, that worked, as she went first and I went second. The staff didn't expect a lot of people, so no planning for a crowd. Everyone I talked to found out by word of mouth. So there was confusion, people jockeying for place, crowding around in certain areas, one filipina trying to sign up her friends that hadn't arrived yet, expats explaining how it should be done, the whole gamut. Three stations, paperwork, shot, 20 minute wait for release once it started, vary rapid. Then I had to move bikes blocking my wife's Bajaj. Fairly normal.

 

Not required in Talay.... think untrue

 

Wasn’t required in Bacong

 

I was vaccinated in Bacong, my BP was also over 140-110 they gave me a pill to lower BP, after 30 min it was okay and I get my first shot. In a way, I'm happy they pay my attention to high BP, I will take my precautions to lower my BP, less salt, more exercise, and a break from smoke 25 cigarettes a day

 

No, they first took it with a "plug in" BP monitor and it read 193 over 115... I asked if they would take it manually and it then read 160 over 110 .. then they informed me that they would deny if it was over 140...
