The Quezon City government has welcomed the support offered by ACT-CIS party list of providing additional health workers to speed up its vaccination drive, and provide fast and efficient service to residents.
THE Quezon City government has reached an agreement with the Anti-Crime and Terrorism Community Involvement and Support (ACT-CIS) partylist as its partner in accelerating Covid-19 vaccination program.
Supported primarily by radio broadcasters Raffy and Erwin Tulfo, the partylist has committed to help Quezon City’s vaccination program by providing medical teams in vaccination centers.
QC Mayor Joy Belmonte welcomed the group’s move to join the city’s “Bayanihan sa Turukan.”
“Since last year, we have received a myriad of support from different organizations and have established the whole-of-city approach in addressing the Covid-19 pandemic. The doctors and nurses from ACT-CIS will greatly support four of our sites, and accommodate more QCitizens in the process,” Belmonte said.
“Ito po ay aming kontribusyon sa hangarin ng ating pamahalaan na mabakunahan ang lahat sa lalong madaling panahon. Kailangan po tayong magtulong-tulong. Hindi natin matatalo ang virus kung hindi natin susuportahan ang mga ginagawang hakbang ng pamahalaan,” ACT-CIS chair Erwin Tulfo said.
The city government values the initial support from the partylist which will speed up its efforts, and provide fast and efficient service to its residents.
As of May 19, the city government has administered a total of 272,046 doses to QC residents and workers, or 204,394 for the first dose plus 67, 652 for the second dose.
Recently, a drive-thru vaccination site has been openedin partnership with SM City Malls in SM Fairview.
This site will accommodate A1 to A3 priority groups who have registered to the program through their barangay’s assisted-booking scheme.
The city hopes to attain herd immunity in six to eight months by inoculating 1.6 million individuals. (SC)
