TACLOBAN CITY – Senior citizens and those with existing illnesses trooped to the two shopping malls which serve as the vaccination centers in this city to get inoculated with the US-made Johnson & Johnson (Janssen Pharmaceuticals) vaccine. Dr. Gloria Fabrigas, city health officer, said they are surprised by the huge turnout of people who want to be inoculated with the single-dose vaccine, unlike in previous days. The last day for the vaccination using the Janssen vaccine would be on Thursday. “I have scoliosis, among other ailments, and I will be flying to South Korea to be with my husband. Janssen only needs a single dose unlike others and is accepted in South Korea,” she said.
