The University of the Philippines (UP) has converted the gymnasium of its Diliman, Quezon City campus into a COVID-19 vaccination facility for university workers and members of its community.

UP Diliman Vice Chancellor Aleli Bawagan said Tuesday the vaccination center is manned by qualified volunteers, including university alumni and residents from communities that cover the vast campus.

The in-campus vaccination program aims to decongest vaccination centers in Quezon City and speed up the process of achieving herd immunity against the new coronavirus.
