The City of Bacoor received yesterday its first installment of at least 114 single-dose Sinovac Covid 19 vaccine vials. These vaccines are allocated to the City by the National Government and are purposely intended for its public health workers, specifically those working in public hospitals.
Today, March 10, the Sinovac vaccines will be administered to 114 public health care workers of the city at the Southern Tagalog Regional Hospital (STRH). Another batch of vaccines are set to arrive on Thursday (March 11). Consequently, another group of public health care workers will get their first jab of the Chinese- made vaccines by Friday.
“We thank the National Government, despite the vaccine’s limited supply, our City of Bacoor is among the first cities to receive the Sinovac vaccines”, said Mayor Lani Mercado Revilla. She added “that the City, through its City Health Office and in partnership with the Southern Tagalog Regional Hospital, can finally start its vaccination program.”
