BACOOR CITY, Cavite - The city government here is aiming to inoculate the city's 2,200 healthcare workers in the soonest possible time.
On March 16, a total of 250 nurses, doctors, and other medical personnel from St. Dominic Medical Center, Metrosouth Medical Center, Bacoor Doctors Medical Center, Southeast Asian Medical Center, South City Hospital and Medical Center, Molino Doctors Hospital, and the Crisostomo General Hospital were vaccinated with doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
"Lubos ang aking kasiyahang malaman na ang ating mga frontliners ay nabakunahan na. Sila itong araw-araw na direktang sumasagupa sa CoViD-19 kaya marapat lamang na bigyan natin sila ng importansya, bigyan natin ng proteksyon. Sisikapin nating matapos na mabakunahan ang ating mga medical practitioners para sa mga susunod na linggo ay makapag-umpisa na tayong makapagbakuna sa ating mga senior citizens," said Mayor Revilla.
(It is my great pleasure to know that our frontliners have been vaccinated. They are the ones who directly encounter CoViD-19 on a daily basis so it is only right that we give them importance, we give them protection. We will try to complete the vaccination of all our medical practitioners in the next few weeks so that we can start vaccinating our senior citizens.)
The vaccination of healthcare workers in the city will continue until today, March 19, 2021, at the newly opened Bacoor City Mega Vaccine Center in Bacoor Coliseum, Barangay Molino 3.
Meanwhile, the city's CoViD-19 vaccine rollout will continue in Bacoor Coliseum in the coming weeks while the second vaccine center at the Bacoor Elementary School in Barangay Alima is being prepared.
The vaccination campaign is a significant step for the city as it supports the intensified implementation of quarantine policies such as the mandatory wearing of face masks and face shields, the practice of social distancing, and observance of the curfew hours.
Furthermore, all business establishments in the city were ordered to close at 9pm pursuant to Executive Order No. 06 S. 2021 recently issued by the city government.
"We need to tighten the quarantine guidelines implemented because we are experiencing a double or triple increase in CoViD-19 cases in our city. We are only in the first half of March, we have already recorded 434 new cases that resulted in a total of 456 Active cases. The spread of the virus is fast so we also need to act quickly and call on the Bacooreños to follow the rules," explained Revilla.
Current CoViD-19 updates in the city showed a total of 3,969 Confirmed cases out of which 3,375 recovered and 138 fatalities from the disease were recorded. (Ruel Francisco with reports from the Bacoor PIO)
