To reach more people by building accessible and easy-to-locate vaccination hubs in the province, the Provincial Government of La Union (PGLU) lays out a plan to open its mega vaccination hub to Kaprobinsiaan.
The proposed mega vaccination site will play an instrumental role in PGLUβs key objectives in its CoViD-19 Immunization Program and, at the same time, opens opportunities to Kaprobinsiaan who are eligible as per the requirement from the Department of Health (DOH) to get vaccinated.
Moreover, the PGLU, through the Provincial Health Office, also eyes to intensify partnership with private hospitals for the expansion of vaccination sites across the province.
According to Dr. Dan William Dacanay, CoViD-19 Vaccination Program Task Force Focal Person and Vaccination Operations Manager, there are 21 vaccination sites in the province of La Union today. Each local government unit has one (1) vaccination site, while the City of San Fernando, La Union, has two (2) vaccination sites located in Barangay Poro and Union Christian College. The PGLU, in partnership with Saint Louis College, is now preparing the Father Burgos Gym to be the provinceβs mega vaccination site.
Meanwhile, Governor Francisco Emmanuel R. Ortega III emphasized the importance of digitalization in response to the CoViD-19 pandemic. As he convened the La Unionβs CoViD-19 Vaccination Program Task Force (CVP-TF) today, June 17, 2021, Gov. Pacoy ordered the strengthening of data systems for a more comprehensive registration, monitoring, and reporting of the #BakunaMUna CoViD-19 Vaccination Program.
The Governor will meet the Information & Communications Technology Unit of PGLU to tackle the formulation of digital tools that can be used in addressing challenges when it comes to planning, logistics management, vaccination roll-out, and immunization monitoring.
The Provincial Government of La Union vows to continue its effort to achieve herd immunity and partner with other stakeholders to ramp up the number of Kaprobinsiaan to be vaccinated.
