THE local government unit (LGU) of Mabalacat is planning to put up at least six Covid-19 vaccination centers.

This developed after city officials, under the leadership of Mayor Crisostomo Garbo, appropriated P50 million for the acquisition of vaccines in support of the national government vaccination program.

The vaccination centers will be established in the city's rural health centers.

Garbo said a cold storage will be erected before the actual procurement of the vaccines.

The mayor said the local government, through its Covid-19 vaccination task force, will identify individuals that will be prioritized.

"Meron po tayong prosesong ngayong ginagawa at mayroon po akong inilabas na executive order na itinatalaga ko na po ang mga task force for Covid-19 vaccination," Garbo said.

The local executive said medical workers are on the top of the priority list.

"Meron tayong tinatawag na first priority, second priority, and third priority hanggang yung hinihintay pa po nating dito yung ilalaang ng ating national government para sa bawat localities," Garbo said.

Senior citizens, uniformed personnel and other frontliners will also be prioritized in the vaccination program, according to Garbo.
