The mega vaccination site, also known as the Solaire-ICTSI Mega Vaccination Center, is nestled in New Seaside Drive, Paranaque City. It has 30 drive-thru booths and eight ambulatory vaccination centers that can inoculate at least 15,000 persons daily. On its initial rollout, 50,000 doses of the Moderna vaccine will be inoculated by health workers and private-sector workers from Paranaque City.
