Covid: EU plans rollout of travel certificate before summer
The vaccines should be approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA). These currently include drugs developed by Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, Oxford-AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson, but not Russia's Sputnik V or China's Sinovac and Sinopharm vaccines.

One might think that by now, Dumaguete/Negor would have a central website that would daily update which jabs are available & where, and one could make reservation right on it for the preferred/needed brand of vax, 1st 2nd or booster. But No, info continues to be rare, special contacts needed or calling to govmt offices just hoping a helpful person might answer, or driving to places to check it in-person, usually in vain :-(

 

Until now means until now. I got a vaccine from a company that was selling baby powder contaminated with asbestos. So I feel ok until now. I hope I will feel ok tomorrow also. And in future...

 

We had our 2nd Maderna shots April 29th. Same shoulder soreness as the first time. This time my chest felt a little inflamed for two days. Didn't hurt, felt more like getting pumped up from bench pressing, except it lasted two days. I also felt warm or flushed, for two days, even though my temperature BP remained normal. I guess this all part of the nano-bots taking control.

 

The unused Azrazeneca was requested back by Manila (don't know whether they complied), and they got so little Sinovac it's probably used up. One friends biz org in Cebu ordered Moderna, but no idea when it happens. No readout if expats will be included yet, just nice sounding words. Hope the pharmacies, etc., buy, but no indication yet.

Heads up, beshie! The Dumaguete City government has launched an online registration drive for #COVID19 vaccination.
If you're interested and willing to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, you can sign up here: https://bit.ly/3cIkUQP
No shortcuts will be done in the vaccination and will be based on the availability of supply from the national government and order of priority of DOH, the city government assured. #NewsBite

 

Spoke with the barangay nurse in Sagbang after I saw notice for seniors to sign up for the COVID vaccine. She said there is no definite start date, but the information she has says they are aiming for starting in April for seniors. Seniors are slated to get the Astrazenica vaccine. If it actually happens that soon, I will consider a an outright miracle since I didn't think the Philippines would not get around to vaccinating the non-medical, non-political population before 2022.

 

Excuse me picking up on the point of "until today" (also used as 'until now'). I see that as meaning 'I was okay BUT today I am not' but some (especially Filipinos) see it as 'I am still okay'. How do others see that expression?

I should make clear that I am not being critical of tuba-coma (whom I admire) but it is a point I often have interesting discussions about with expats and Filipinos.
