ORION, Bataan — This province opened its 28th vaccination site in a village here Wednesday regardless of the bad weather caused by storm Jolina.
Gov. Albert Garcia, 2nd District Rep. Jose Enrique Garcia III and Orion Mayor Antonio Raymundo led in the ribbon-cutting and inauguration of the second inoculation center in the town.
Parish priest Fr. Perry Medina officiated in the blessing of not only the center but the new building as well of the Orion Rural Health Unit.
“The opening of more vaccination centers in our province is in line with our desire of attaining herd immunity at the earliest time for the long-lasting protection and safety of our people against the coronavirus disease,” the governor said.
He said that the new RHU building in turn will give medical frontliners added comfort while helping fight the war against Covid- 19.
“Hinihikayat natin ang mga hindi pa nababakunahan na huwag mag-atubiling samantalahin ang pagkakataong mabigyang proteksyon ang sarili at pamilya sa pamamagitan ng bakuna. Maiiwasan natin ang severe symptoms ng Covid-19 na kadalasang nauuwi sa kamatayan kung tayo ay tumanggap ng kahit anong brand ng bakuna,” the governor appealed.
