PRC RAMPS UP VAXXING AMID OMICRON – GORDON

The Philippine Red Cross (PRC) ramped up its vaccination drive to support the National Vaccination Days after the National Task Force Against COVID-19 extended the vaccination days until December 3.

PRC Chairman and CEO Senator Dick Gordon deployed its Bakuna Buses and Bakuna Centers, which vaccinated 8,155 individuals on December 2.

The PRC continues to speed up its vaccination to protect the unvaccinated due to the Omicron variant causing concerns in other countries.

Through PRC’s volunteers, logistical assets, and information technology, PRC was able to aid the government in ramping up its vaccination efforts and provide proper and accurate information in different platforms to encourage everyone to get vaccinated.

“Naghahanda na kami sa Philippine Red Cross kung sakali makapasok ang bagong variant.”

“There is cause for concern for the Omicron variant but there is no need to panic. Naghahanda na kami sa Philippine Red Cross kung sakali makapasok ang bagong variant,” Gordon said.

“Huwag na rin muna lumabas kung hindi kailangan.”

“Ngunit, ito ay ating maiiwasan kung tayo ay magpapa-test, magpapabakuna, magpapractice ng health protocols kagaya ng pagsusuot ng mask, paghugas ng kamay, at social distancing. Huwag na rin muna lumabas kung hindi kailangan. Let us protect ourselves and the people around us,” the veteran legislator stressed.

With the holiday season approaching, the seasoned lawmaker encourages everyone to get tested and utilize the free vaccines provided by the local government unit.

“Magpabakuna sa pinakamalapit na Bakuna Centers upang maprotektahan ang sarili kontra COVID-19,” the senator said.

“For all people who want to have a Christmas event and gathering, all must present a negative COVID-19 test result, especially if there are very young unvaccinated children, elderly, and those with comorbidities even if they are fully vaccinated,” he concluded.
