THE Philippine Red Cross (PRC) urged Filipinos needing booster shots to complete the recommended doses to ensure optimal protection against COVID-19.

PRC chairman and CEO Richard J. Gordon said it is crucial that everyone completes the vaccination regimen.

“Completing your COVID-19 booster shots strengthens one’s immune system against the virus – providing protection to individuals and safeguarding the health of our communities,” Gordon said.

Individuals who have yet to receive their booster shots can come to the PRC Logistics and Multipurpose Center (PLMC) located at the PRC Tower in Mandaluyong City.

The PLMC provides a safe and conducive environment for vaccination, adhering to strict health and safety protocols in ensuring the well-being of individuals receiving the booster shots. The facility is staffed by trained healthcare professionals who will guide and assist individuals throughout the vaccination process.

PRC secretary-general Dr. Gwendolyn T. Pang underscored the significance of vaccination in building immunity.

“We encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity and protect themselves and their loved ones,” she said.

PRC provides accessible and reliable booster shots in support of the government’s national vaccination campaign.
