LRT-1 can now accommodate more people for vaccination, after adding two more sites located at Yamaha Monumento and Balintawak Stations
After a successful run with a total of 745 LRT-1 passengers vaccinated at LRT-1 Baclaran and Central Station, Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC) is targeting to vaccinate 300 individuals per week in its vaccination site at LRT-1 Yamaha Monumento Station in partnership with Caloocan Health Department, and LRT-1 Balintawak Station with the Quezon City Health Department.
“We understand that others are still facing barriers in traveling to vaccination sites. In the last installment of our vaccination drive, we are ensuring that transportation is not a barrier to vaccination. At LRMC, transportation will pave the way to vaccination, especially now that we are all set to serve more passengers under Alert Level 1,” Dr. Louernie F. De Sales, LRMC Head of Health, Safety, Environment, and Quality Department shared.
LRT-1 Yamaha Monumento Station vaccination site will run this entire month. It is open from Monday to Saturday, 8 AM to 5 PM. Available brands are Janssen and AstraZeneca for the first dose and booster jabs. The LRT-1 Balintawak Station vaccination site will also run this entire month, but operating hours are shorter: 9 AM to 3 PM every Monday and Wednesday. Also, available brands are AstraZeneca and Sinovac for the second dose and booster jab.
