TRECE MARTIRES CITY, Cavite — Silang Mayor Corie Poblete appealed to the national government for more vaccine supply as its number of Covid-19 cases rises.

Poblete said the additional vaccines would help speed up the inoculation of the majority of their target residents and achieve the goal of herd immunity in the town.



“We hope that the National Government will grant our request to have more allocation for our town because the number of cases of the disease continues to rise,” the mayor said.

The municipal government of Silang continues with its vaccination rollout to protect the residents against Covid-19 with the predominance of the Delta variant that causes the rapid spread of the disease.



While more vaccines are needed, the LGU vaccination efforts through the hardwork and dedication of its vaccination team had established a more efficient system for the safe and effective distribution of the vaccines especially to the members of the vulnerable sectors.

Current Covid-19 update showed total confirmed cases in Silang has reached 4,783 as of Monday, September 13. Of the total positive cases, 596 are active according to the Rural Health Unit.



The vaccination activities are continuously conducted in the town’s vaccination sites: Bulihan Sites and Services Project –ES, Tiibig Covered court, Cavite State University (CvSu)-Silang, Adventist University of the Philippines (AUP)-Gym, Pooc II and Pulong Bunga Covered court, and the RHU mobile clinic with additional schedule of vaccination to accommodate more vaccinees.
