What to Expect at the NPF Drive Through Vaccination Center

October 20, 2021


What to Expect at the NPF Drive Through Vaccination Center

The NPF Drive Through is the Nayong Pilipino Foundation Vaccination Center located at New Seaside Drive, Paranaque. For those scheduled for vaccination at this vaccination center, here is what you can expect.


PRE-REGISTRATION

This is where they scan the QR code of the vaccinee and ask for the ID for verification of identity. 


REGISTRATION AREA

They scan your QR code again and check your ID again. Then they repeat the questions you answered in the health declaration you submitted in the app. But this time they ask whether you got another covid vaccine before this vaccine that is about to be administered. As of this writing, the DoH guidelines prohibit booster shots after being fully vaccinated with another vaccine or taking a dose different from the previous vaccine.


VACCINATION AREA

They get your ID for another identity verification prior to administering the vaccination. 

Procedure for vaccination:

1. The nurse asks you where you want your vaccination to be administered, the left arm or the right arm. 

2. The nurse identifies the vaccine as Moderna, shows you the syringe containing 0.5 ml of the vaccine then jabs your arm with the vaccine. 

3. Then the nurse shows you the empty syringe after vaccination. 

4. They return your ID and instruct you to wait in the observation. They give you souvenir stickers for being fully vaccinated. 

5. If you don't have allergies to meds or any component of the vaccine, you are instructed to wait for 5 minutes in the observation area before leaving. If you declare you have allergies, you are instructed to wait 30 min at the observation area. 





Some are vaccinated inside the car.



Others are asked to get off the car.



OBSERVATION AREA
If you don't have allergies to meds or any component of the vaccine, you are instructed to wait for 5 minutes in the observation area before leaving. If you declare you have allergies, you are instructed to wait 30 min at the observation area. 


While waiting at the observation area, you can use the toilets beside the observation area and the vaccination area.

MY TIPS ON THINGS TO BRING TO THE VACCINATION CENTER:

1. Screenshot or printout of QR code
2. Identification card with photo
3. Water, Paracetamol, Gatorade 
Drink paracetamol and Gatorade after vaccination to anticipate side effects. 

MY TIPS ON MANAGING SIDE EFFECTS

1. Don't exercise the day before vaccination to minimize bodily pains after vaccination. 
2. Drink paracetamol every 4 hours for 48 hours to effectively manage fever, chills and body pain. Make sure to stay hydrated with Gatorade or hydrite. Headaches ease when you stay hydrated.
3. The side effects last only 48 hours. Consult a doctor if it lasts more than 48 hours.
