MAYOR Maria Isabelle Climaco-Salazar and City Health Officer Dulce Miravite joined the Philippine Red Cross-Zamboanga chapter officials in launching Monday, May 2, the Mobile Bakuna bus in this city.

The Mobile Bakuna bus of the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) is deployed to this city for two weeks in line with PRC's commitment to help and support the government in the fight against coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) through vaccination of the eligible population.

Miravite said that the bus will be deployed to strategic locations, specifically far-flung areas of villages to vaccinate residents of this city.

Salazar and Miravite together with PRC-Zamboanga Chapter Administrator Josephine Fernandez and Project Bakuna Head Mylene Baidiango inspected the bus prior to its deployment.

The vaccination activity as well as the schedule will be a collaborative effort of the PRC-Zamboanga chapter and the City Health Office.

Meanwhile, Salazar expressed gratitude to the PRC for including this city in the Bakuna Bus deployment. (SunStar Zamboanga)
