MANILA, Philippines — The mayors of the worst-hit cities in Metro Manila urged the unvaccinated to get their jabs as the National Capital Region's latest spike in coronavirus cases continued. 

 

According to data from the Department of Health, 55% of the over 28,000 coronavirus cases on Tuesday afternoon came from the National Capital Region. Of which, 4,668 came from Quezon City while 2,557 came from Manila City. 

 

With the Department of Transportation launching a policy to ban the unvaccinated from riding public transportation, the local chief executives of the two cities launched projects to provide better access to vaccines and to incentivize those taking their jabs to address hesitancy.
