MANILA, Philippines — With vaccination for the A4 priority group underway, the chief of the Philippine National Police will be the first to take the coronavirus vaccines allocated for uniformed personnel under the agency. Per the findings of a June 10 survey, a total of 92.2% of PNP personnel have expressed willingness to be vaccinated, up from just 51% in February. As it currently stands, the PNP is yet to receive another batch of COVID-19 vaccines that would be used for its personnel under the A4 list. A number of local government units have already started vaccination for the category, with the Department of the Interior and Local Government already approving police vaccination at local government facilities. The PNP's Health Services have also recorded 25,190 cases thus far, with 1,756 still active and recovering in quarantine centers.
