Bong Go bares 10 K more

COVID vaccines for Bohol

TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol July 9 (PIA) – Amidst the sputtering delivery of vaccines to Bohol and the alarming increase of deaths credited to the coronavirus disease, Senator Christopher Lawrence Go announced the delivery of 10,000 more vaccines to Bohol anytime soon.

The announcement came as a relief as local authorities in Bohol have identified the lack of vaccine supplies arriving in Bohol as the main reason why local vaccination teams could only accomplish as much.

As of last count however, vaccines have reached 102, 511, or about 10% of the Boholanos.

The figure however is inclusive of those who have been given their initial doses as well as those who have completed their full vaccination, based on the report from the Provincial Health Office dated July 7.

Bohol has since received 142, 830 free vaccines from the national government which it sourced out after buying or after getting donations from its international allies.

With over 50 vaccination sites and each vaccination site capable of inoculating 150 persons daily, Bohol keeps a 7,500 as ideal minimum vaccination accomplishment, with teams now getting used to a system that allows for a faster operations, reports Bohol Inter Agency Task Force on the management of Emerging Infectious Disease spokesperson Dr. Cesar Tomas Lopez.

Dr Lopez, who is also the acting Provincial Health Officer however admitted that the lack of vaccines delivered has kept Boholanos from getting vaccinated fast.

“For Bohol, some 10,000 vaccines would be sent by Secretary Carlito Galvez to allow Bohol to continue its vaccine roll-out,” declared the photo-bomber who got elected into the lofty seats of the senate.

Go, whom Presidential Assistant for the Visayas Michael Dino called a man of action, extremely hardworking, came to Bohol to assist the National Housing Authority in handling out certificates of awards to the 100 units of row houses for the country’s servicemen in Sungculan Dauis, also reportedly proposed a P30,000 subsidy for the P240,000 housing projects for the Armed Forces of the Philippines, Philippine National Police, Bureau of Fire Protection, Bureau of Jail management and Penology and the Bureau of Corrections personnel.

Also jokingly called a fireman, as he is always there to help communities during fires, Senator Bong Go, admitted the country faces an entirely different problem with coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

Faced still with many people who refused to get the vaccines, which health experts believe is the best way to get people protected against the viral disease, Go appealed to Boholanos gathered at the Dauis Covered Gymnasium July 9.

“Salig intawon mo sa gobernor, salig mo sa bakuna, kay kini ra ang solusyon, ang susi para hinayhinay na kita nga makabalik sa atong pagpakabuhi nga normal, (Please trust in the government, trust the vaccines because this is the only solution, the key to allow us to slowly return to our normal lives), the senator urged fisherfoks farmers, rebel returnees and mayors gathered for the assistance to individuals in crisis situations by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).
