Schools in Iloilo City particularly Ateneo de Iloilo – Santa Maria Catholic School, John B. Lacson Maritime Foundation University, West Visayas State University (WVSU), Central Philippine University (CPU), Iloilo Science and Technology University (ISAT-U) and University of San Agustin have been designated as the vaccination centers of the city-wide vaccination program.
