With the continuing #BakunaMuna Program of La Union, the vaccination team of the Municipality of San Juan with the assistance of two vaccination teams of the Provincial Government of La Union (PGLU) inoculated a total of 284 vaccinees, the highest number of vaccinated individuals so far in the province in a day on a single site during the CoViD-19 vaccination of Senior Citizens or Priority Group A2 in the said town on May 5, 2021.
The PGLU continues to assist rural health units in their vaccination against CoViD-19. As of May 5, 2021, a total of 14,513 individuals have received their first dose while 4,162 have received their second dose in the whole province.
"We are inspired even more to do our job when we see more people interested to be vaccinated. This means that they are willing to contribute in our fight against the virus. We hope more kaprobinsiaan will pre-register," said Erika May M. Opetina, one of the CoViD-19 vaccinators.
Gov. Francisco Emmanuel “Pacoy” R. Ortega III emphasized, “while the PGLU continues the vaccination program across all LGUs in the province to come to a herd immunity, let us remember to observe the minimum health standards.”
We are calling all kaprobinsiaan who are part of Priority Groups A1 to A4 to have themselves enlisted in their barangay or rural health units for the vaccination or register at www.vaccines.launion.gov.ph.
