THE Angeles City Government is set to join the whole country in #VaxAsOne, where all Angeleños and non-residents will be vaccinated from November 29 to December 1, 2021.
Mayor Carmelo Lazatin Jr. said the two mega vaccination sites of the City Government at the City College of Angeles and Angeles City National High School can accommodate all walk-in residents and non-residents.
Lazatin added that this initiative of joining the three-day National Vaccination Day is its contribution towards herd immunity, echoing that the safest way to protect oneself from the virus is to get vaccinated.
“Ang bigger goal po dito ay mabakunahan lahat ng nakatira dito sa siyudad, at matulungan yung mga kababayan natin mula sa mga karatig-lungsod at bayan na hindi pa nababakunahan,” Lazatin said.
“Nakikiisa po ang siyudad ng Angeles sa national government sa paglunsad ng Bayanihan Bakunahan,” he added.
IC Calaguas, Lazatin’s chief adviser and chief implementer of the city’s vaccination program, said that three mobile bus clinics will also be deployed in all city entry point boundaries, including cities of Mabalacat and San Fernando and towns of Porac, Mexico, and Magalang. There are 400 working staff in the vaccination team.
City Health Officer Dr. Verona Guevarra, who is manning the medical side of the vaccination program, said there is enough supplies of vaccine to inoculate the residents and non-residents.
“May enough supply po tayo ng bakuna. Tuloy-tuloy din po ang suportang natatanggap natin sa National Vaccination Operation Center pagdating sa supply ng bakuna,” Guevarra said.
Aside from this, all doctors and nurses will also receive their booster shots starting on November 25, 2021.
To date, 295,185 Angeleños already received their first dose of vaccines while 233,373 are fully vaccinated.
