BALANGA CITY — The Provincial Health Office on Friday clarified that the showing of the zombie-themed “World War Z” movie as observed by some in social media at the big screen of the Bataan People’s Center that serves as major vaccination area in the province was unintentional.
“Part ng Netflix . . . sunod-sunod pinapalabas . . so nahagip yung movie but not intentional,” PHO chief Dr. Rosanna Buccahan said in a text message.
Some netizens the other day found the showing of a zombie movie in the inoculation center as “questionable” and “hilarious”.
A glimpse Friday at the giant monitor near the post-vaccination area showed film clips of ongoing activities in the province as explained by provincial officials led by 2nd District Rep. Jose Enrique Garcia III, Gov. Albert Garcia and others.
There was none of the zombie film as reported by some social media users.
Buccahan asked netizens to see more of the beautiful activities going on in Bataan despite the pandemic owing to the governor’s desire for the province to reach herd immunity at the earliest time.
Vax on wheels
She said that aside from 24 vaccination sites, Bataan has launched vaccination on wheels that serves even the farthest and remote sitios like in Minanga, Barangay Mabayo in Morong town.
The vax on wheels also served in the inoculation of persons deprived of liberty. Buccahan led a team who donned yellow shirts during the vaccination for the PDLs not to feel discriminated against.
The vax on wheels has also gone to the upland sitios in Bangkal, Abucay and sitio Kinaragan and Mamala in Limay for the vaccination of the Aeta natives and other highlanders.
“No bridges or barriers can hinder our vax on wheels team in reaching remote communities,” Buccahan said. On Friday, the team was at the Aeta village of Tipo in Hermosa.
She said that inoculation against Covid–19 is going on for priority groups A1 to A5 with 229,488 already vaccinated with the first dose and 125,284 fully vaccinated, including 43,404 with the single-dose Janssen.
