MANILA, Philippines — Starting Monday, a number of Metro Manila cities have officially begun vaccinating beneficiaries listed under the A4 priority group. Pasay City Mayor Emi Calixto-Rubiano opened Monday the rollout for the vaccination of some 35 million workers under the A4 group at the SM Mall of Asia. “The vaccination of those from the A4 sector is significant because they make up the backbone of the economy,” the local chief executive said. Parañaque City Mayor Edwin Olivarez also announced on Facebook that A4 vaccination had begun at SM City Sucat. "We know this (A4) group is extremely large," city information officer Julius Leonen also said in a text message to reporters.
