Bacoor LGU rolls out vax program simulations

CALAMBA CITY, Feb. 11 (PIA) - The City Government of Bacoor is all systems go for their city-wide COVID-19 vaccination program after the local Inter Agency Task Force rolled out its simulations today. 

In a prior meeting with the CALABARZON Local Task Forces Against COVID-19, City Councilor Alde Pagulayan said that they have launched a COVID-19 Electronic Immunization Registry (CEIR) to ensure a safe and more convenient registration process. 

A total of 325 personnel were hired to form 25 vaccination teams to be deployed in all of the city’s 16 vaccination sites. 

The City Health Office and Private Hospital Workers will be at the forefront of the program, handling the screening, monitoring and administration of the vaccines. 

It will also include the Sangguniang Kabataan and the City Information Management Systems, who will handle the registration of the individuals who will be vaccinated, as well as teachers who will join the City Social Welfare and Development Office in providing counselling services.

“Mayroon kaming nilaan na budget para sa pag procure ng equipment para matulungan ang national government sa pag rollout ng vaccination plan. It will be a priority, We will move heaven and earth para ma suportahan ang vaccination program ng national government,” Pagulayan assured. 

[We have allotted a budget to procure the equipment to help the national government in rolling out the vaccination plan. It will be a priority. We will move heaven and earth to support the vaccination program of the national government.] 

The city government is also working with a private company  located in Barangay Longos who will provide the cold facility needed for storing the vaccines the city government procured from drug manufacturers, Pfizer, Astrazenica and Moderna. 

Three Ultra High Temperature Freezers in the Southern Tagalog Regional Hospital will also be utilized for storing vaccines to prevent them from spoiling upon reaching city borders. 

To recall, Mayor Lani Mercado-Revilla has signed an Executive Order for the establishment of technical working groups who will oversee the vaccination operations center, database and registry, communication and information dissemination, procurement and finance, and logistics. 

Local government offices, such as the City Health Office, MIS, Public Information Office, City Budget Office, and General Services Office, have been tapped to handle the logistics entailed in the vaccination program. 

Simulations in the city-wide vaccination plan were done in different venues, such as Bacoor Elementary School (ALIMA), Southern Tagalog Regional Hospital, and Bacoor Coliseum   to determine which area will be most conducive--in terms of travel control, logistics and manpower--in facilitating the successful vaccination rollout.
