CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – The city government opened two additional vaccination sites here Thursday to ramp up its vax rollout which is now progressing to the A3 category or individuals with comorbidities.
The Department of Health qualified Our Lady of Fatima University and Walter Mart as vaccination hubs, backing-up Heroes Hall, the city’s first vaccination site and the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Medical Center.
The first three sites mentioned now simultaneously administer anti-Covid vaccines on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. The OLMCMC, on the other hand, operates on Saturdays.
The city health office said that the expansion of its vaccination sites is a great help as they will begin the inoculation of the A3 group on June 11.
“Nagbigay na po ng go signal ang DOH para i-start na rin namin ang pagbabakuna sa mga A3. So, nitong Biyernes na yung unang araw ng pagbabakuna natin for the A3 group na simultaneous pong magaganap sa tatlong vaccination sites natin para mas maging mabilis at maayos yung sistema,” explained Dr. Iris Rose Muñoz, National Immunization Program manager.
CHO is now planning and re-strategizing for a more effective and simultaneous administration of vaccines to Fernandinos.
