The vaccination of economic frontline workers or those who belong to the A4 priority group has been in full swing in Metro Manila since early June.
A4 individuals include private sector employees who are required to work outside their places of residence, government employees, and informal sector workers who are self-employed or who are in private households.
For this and other priority groups, most local government units (LGUs) prefer that residents and workers register through their online booking platforms, but some still accommodate surprise vaccine applicants.
Do you live in Metro Manila, and does your LGU allow walk-in vaccinations for members of the A4 priority group?
Caloocan
Yes. Kate Javier-Pajaron of the city PIO said on Tuesday, June 15, that Caloocan allows walk-ins for all priority groups, but “depending on the supply of the vaccines.”
Residents however are still encouraged to fill out the city’s COVID-19 vaccine profiling form online or through the barangay. Once completed, they can visit any vaccination center that attends to members of their priority group. They don’t have to wait for a text message or confirmation of an appointment from the LGU.
Las Piñas
No, according to the city PIO.
“We don’t have walk-ins but we have a quick substitution list and on-site assisted registration,” Las Piñas PIO chief Paul San Miguel told Rappler on Tuesday,
Residents can register manually, online, or with the assistance of vaccination personnel onsite.
Makati
No, according to Jun Salgado of the Makati PIO. To register for a vaccine slot, visit ProudMakatizen.

No, according to Bong Padua, Malabon PIO chief. Walk-in vaccinations are exclusive to senior citizens of the city.
For A4 individuals, sign up online and wait for a confirmatory text from the LGU.

No. Jimmy Isidro, PIO chief of Mandaluyong, told Rappler on Tuesday that members of the A4 priority group must register through Mandavax.
Manila
Yes, the Manila LGU began entertaining walk-in clients again on June 22, after refusing to accommodate them for a brief period of time on June 21. The city government cited low immunization turnout as reason for the revert to the original policy.
The lack of an online scheduling system in Manila has sometimes resulted in long lines in some vaccination sites since the city began A4 vaccinations on June 8.
Marikina
No, Mayor Marcy Teodoro told Rappler on Tuesday. A4 individuals may register online.
Muntinlupa
Yes, walk-in vaccine applicants who are eager to get vaccinated will be “considered” as long as they qualify and have the necessary requirements, Muntinlupa PIO chief Tez Navarro said Tuesday.
The LGU still wants to avoid overcrowding though, so residents are encouraged to register online or manually for a vaccine slot.

No. Pasay PIO chief Jun Burgos told Rappler on Tuesday that A4 walk-in vaccine applicants will not be entertained for now due to the limited COVID-19 vaccine supply.
