THE Bacolod City Government will hold a "Bigjab Weekend" at the SMX Convention Center of SM City and Ayala Malls Capitol Central Saturday and Sunday, August 28 and 29.
City Administrator Em Ang, executive director of Emergency Operations Center-Task Force (EOC-TF) and Covid-19 Vaccination Council (CoVaC) coordinator, said that local residents under the priority groups A1 to A5 who have registered online may walk in at any of the two vaccination sites this weekend.
She said the "Bigjab Weekend" will start from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
"No need to wait for an appointment notification from CoVaC as long as they have completed their online registration," she added.
Ang noted that those qualified must bring any government-issued identification card with Bacolod address, as well as confirmation of their online registration through tinyurl.com/bcdceironline.
Mayor Evelio Leonardia earlier said that the city aims to make the vaccines available to as many Bacolodnons.
"This way, we keep our communities safe as well as our loved ones," he said.
On August 30, the Bacolod City's vaccination drive goes on a 24-hour shift as the EOC strategizes a plan of action to control the spread of Covid-19 infections and sustain the downtrend of cases.
Meanwhile, the EOC developed yet another innovative 24-hour shift to widen the local government's vaccination drive.
Ang said the round-the-clock vaccination jab will be launched on Monday, August 30, to coincide with the National Heroes' Day.
