The city government of Biñan has led an aggressive Covid-19 vaccination drive as part of its “proactive” efforts in bringing down the number of Covid-19 cases in the city since last year.
FRESH from a successful Covid-19 vaccination program, the city government of Biñan City, Laguna recently received a big boost with the donation of Covid-19 vaccines from the Metro Pacific Tollways South (MPT South).
The Biñan City LGU is one of the five LGUs in southern Metro Manila and Calabarzon which received a total of 7,000 Moderna Covid-19 vaccines from MPT South, a subsidiary of the Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC).
"The vaccine donation to CALAX and CAVITEX communities through their LGU's is our gesture of support in aid of the national government’s recovery plan towards attaining herd immunity against COVID-19 here in the Region IV-A.” Arlette Capistrano, MPT South Spokesperson and AVP for Communication and Stakeholder Management, said in a press statement.
The other LGUs which received free Covid-19 vaccines include Parañaque City in Metro Manila and Gen. Trias City, Bacoor City and Silang in Cavite province.
Biñan City serves as the Laguna terminus of the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX), one of the major tollways currently operated by MPT South in Southern Luzon.
The city government of Biñan has led an aggressive Covid-19 vaccination drive as part of its “proactive” efforts in bringing down the number of Covid-19 cases in the city since last year.
These efforts include the “Vax on Wheels,” “Floating Vax,” and “House-to-house” vaccination drives, mainly intended for senior citizens and persons with disabilities (PWDs) who were unable to go to the city’s main vaccination centers.
Protecting motorists
MPT South also said in statement that it had already vaccinated 99% percent of its personnel against Covid-19.
At present, it continues to partner with its head office, MPTC and sister companies in the MVP Group of Companies to provide booster shots for its employees.
Aside from CALAX, MPT South currently holds the concession rights for the Manila-Cavite Toll Expressway (CAVITEX), North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), NLEX Connector Road, Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX), and the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX) in Cebu.
