Philippines COVID vaccine queue - priority group calculator

The Philippines sequenced its first COVID-19 immunization campaign through the Department of Health National COVID-19 Vaccination Deployment Plan, often cited together with the IATF priority list.

Early vials went first to health-facility frontliners coded A1, then to senior citizens coded A2, then to adults with comorbidities coded A3, then to uniformed and other essential frontline personnel coded A4, and later to remaining workforce bands B1 through B6 and the rest of the population coded C. This Philippine vaccine-queue calculator assigns a DOH-style priority group code from three facts you already know: age in completed years as a non-negative integer, a closed occupation code, and whether a comorbidity is present. It returns the matching group code, a short label, a priority rank, the criteria that fired, and an eligibility status for the original adult and adolescent programme. An occupation code that is not on the published list is rejected as invalid input rather than being silently mapped to the general public. Age that is not a non-negative integer also fails. The free browser widget and the prepaid API share one isomorphic module, so classroom keys and automation pipelines always agree. Treat every result as an educational reconstruction of the 2021 sequenced framework, never as a live Department of Health or local-government booking, a medical order, or a clinical substitute. Successful API calls use the published $0.002 per item; invalid input is not billed.

FAQ

How is the Philippine COVID-19 vaccine priority group assigned?

Send age as a non-negative integer, occupation (healthcare, uniformed, frontliner, education, government, essential, ofw, or other), and comorbidity as a boolean. The API walks a DOH-style waterfall and returns the highest matching group code plus eligibility_status.

What happens if age is not a non-negative integer?

The task fails with invalid_input. Age must be a whole number from zero through one hundred and twenty; negative years, fractions, and non-numeric values are rejected and the request is not billed.

What occupation codes are accepted?

Occupation must be one of healthcare, uniformed, frontliner, education, government, essential, ofw, or other. Unknown values are not silently mapped to other; they fail with invalid_input.

Does this book a vaccine appointment in the Philippines?

No. It is an educational reconstruction of the 2021 DOH and IATF NDVP sequenced framework. It does not call a Department of Health portal, reserve a local-government slot, or give medical advice.

What does the Philippines COVID vaccine queue calculator cost?

The browser tool is free. API requests use prepaid KIT balance at $0.002 per successful call; invalid input is not billed.

API endpoint

POSThttps://api.kit.forhosting.com/health/vaccine-queue-philippines

Prefer to automate it? One authenticated POST creates the task; the result comes back by webhook or a signed link. The same capability also runs here on the web, by email and from Telegram — and soon from our app too.

Call it from your stack

curl -X POST https://api.kit.forhosting.com/health/vaccine-queue-philippines \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KIT_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"age":72,"occupation":"other","comorbidity":true}'

const res = await fetch("https://api.kit.forhosting.com/health/vaccine-queue-philippines", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${process.env.KIT_KEY}`,

  body: JSON.stringify({

const { task_id } = await res.json();

]));
$task = json_decode($res, true);

req, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", "https://api.kit.forhosting.com/health/vaccine-queue-philippines", body)

Example request

{
  "age": 72,
  "occupation": "other",
  "comorbidity": true
}

Example response

{
  "task_id": "tsk_a1b2c3d4e5f6a1b2c3d4e5f6",
  "type": "health.vaccine_queue_philippines",
  "status": "queued",
  "_links": {
    "result": "/tasks/tsk_…/result"
  }
}

The API is asynchronous: the call returns a task_id immediately and the result arrives by webhook. Polling is capped at 1 req/s per task.
