Dino: Visayas LGUs ready for community vaccination, a major step to recovery
MORE than a year into the pandemic, the Visayas region has reached a significant milestone in its Covid-19 response efforts as local government units (LGUs) are now poised to implement their respective community vaccinations, a major step towards economic recovery.
On Saturday, the Office of the Presidential Assistant for the Visayas (Opav) officially culminated the rollout of the Visayas Covid-19 Vaccination Operations Center (VVOC) Manual after this was cascaded to all LGUs in the three Visayas regions in the past three weeks.
“With the culmination of the VVOC Manual rollout in the Visayas, I now declare Visayas is ready for community vaccination,” Presidential Assistant for the Visayas Secretary Michael Lloyd Dino said.
“With our successful cascading, we (the Visayas) are now ready to smoothly implement the community vaccination program,” Feliciano said during the culmination activity held in Boracay Island.
Public-private cooperation
“It’s the leadership between the private and public sectors that really brought us together, gave us clear directives, set our goals and charted our way to recovery,” Liu said.
‘Time to reopen’
“Covid is here to stay. Our community response system is there to help us manage the situation better,” Gonzales said.
