Acidre said the remaining 4,500 PPSV23 doses were given to residents of some barangays in Pasig, Pasay, Marikina, Caloocan, and Quezon Cities.
He added that the team of Calixto-Rubiano also received assorted medicines that include Amlodepine, Simvastin, Cefurexine Axetil, Paracetamol, Amoxicillin, Vitex, and Blumea Balsamiferi, face shields, and Tingog calendars.
