How should vaccination drive be done?

Health reform advocate Dr. Mike Vergara: You can use a combination of signing up online so that the LGU has an idea of how many people are willing to get vaccinated (and walk-in)… The key is to be able to control.
Should people choose a vaccine brand? Vergara: No, all of these vaccines perform relatively equally very well. They will prevent you from getting seriously sick and dying. Whatever brand it is, the vaccination centers are not restaurants. You will get what is available that day.
