BOOSTERS AT YOUR DOORSTEPS
The City Health Services Office set up a mobile vaccination center at City Hall on July 29, 2022, to dispense booster shots to employees and clients. Mayor Benjamin Magalong earlier directed ramping up booster rollout in the city following a similar directive from President Bongbong Marcos. City Health Services Officer Dr. Rowena Galpo said among the CHSO’s strategies is the deployment of mobile vaccination to workplaces, communities, places of convergence, and even in events. The city has overshot the national target for primary dosage but has yet to improve on the accomplishment of targets on first and second boosters. Companies, barangays, organizers, and residents wishing to avail of vaccination services may contact the nearest district health centers for scheduling and coordination. – APR/Neil Ongchangco / Photos by Neil Clark Ongchangco
