The word is out that Metro Manila will go back to enhanced community quarantine from August 6 to 20. One very important concern raised regarding this shift to stricter restrictions was regarding the vaccination schedules.

Under the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ), only Authorized Persons Outside of Residence will be permitted to travel in, out, or around the capital. Does that mean a person who was initially set to be vaccinated during the upcoming ECQ period will have to reschedule? Well, it appears that won't be the case.

According to Reportr, Department of the Interior and Local Government spokesperson undersecretary Jonathan Malaya confirmed in a message that those scheduled for vaccination between August 6 and 20 are considered as Authorized Persons Outside of Residence (APOR) and will be allowed to go out. "They just need to show their vaccination cards or text message or other proof that they are scheduled for vaccination," said Malaya.

For those living within the capital or in other ECQ areas, take note. Be advised, too, that only APORs are now allowed to enter or leave the Greater Manila bubble, according to the government agency.
