SUBIC BAY FREEPORT—In its effort to provide the community better access to Covid-19 vaccines, the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority through the Office of the Deputy Administrator (ODA) for Health and Safety launched the Mobile Vaccination Drive.
“This is in accordance with the directive from the Department of Health to see to it that everyone has access to Covid-19 vaccines in our community,” said SBMA OIC-DA for Health and Safety Ronnie Yambao.
This came after a meeting with the assistant regional director D. Lailani Mangulabnan of the Central Luzon Center for Health Development and the provincial DOH Zambales chief Dr. Jessie Fantone, and will be executed by the SBMA Public Health and Safety Department.
The SBMA Mobile Vaccination Drive will be at the Binictican Housing area beside Gobstopper Convenience Store on April 13 (Wednesday) from 9 a.m. to 12 noon to render vaccination service to residents nearby for their first dose, second dose or booster dose.
On April 22 (Friday), the SBMA PHSD team will be at the SBMA Day Care Center from 9 a.m. to 12 noon for SBMA employees who wish to be vaccinated without having to go far from their offices.
Also, the DOH-SBMA vaccination program will still be on their regular schedule from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, except this Good Friday.
However, according to PHSD, their vaccination site has moved a little farther from the Activity Center to the hallway near HMR at the Harbor Point Ayala Mall, to give way to the summer activities of the mall.
Currently, the SBMA workforce is at 69 percent boosted, while a little short of 100 percent vaccinated with primary doses.
The PHSD also reported that they have already administered 30,162 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine since May 2021.
