The UB
gymnasium was the city’s first mega vaccination site for the vaccination of the
target adult population and health workers starting operation March 11, 2021
but had to close on March 31, 2022 to give way for the resumption of limited
face-to-face classes in the higher education institution.
The city’s second mega vaccination site was the SLU gymnasium that opened on March 22, 2021 but had to close on March 17, 2022, again for resumption of face-to-face classes in the institution which gave booster shots to all of its employees and the vaccination of individuals aged 5 to 11.
Initially, the SM City Baguio mega vaccination site was located at the Basement Level 2 from May 11, 2021 to March 15, 2022 then transferred to the Sunset Terraces starting March 19, 2022 and still serving as such.
The BCC mega vaccination site started on June 12, 2021 and the BCC management continues to offer the use of its Cordillera Convention Hall for the vaccination requirements of residents and tourists.
The city also honored the Baguio Teachers Camp, one of the major isolation centers in the city, which opened on April 20, 2020 starting with the use of its Roxas Hall for quarantine and isolation of returning Overseas Filipinos (ROFs) but later accommodated the Covid-19 cases starting Sept. 21, 2020.
The Baguio Teachers Camp also opened Hernandez Hall and superintendent’s quarters and later opened the Quirino Hall and staff house as Covid-19 facilities.
Triage and isolation of the ROFs, in partnership with the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA), transferred from the Roxas Hall to the Benitez Hall, and later to the Magsaysay Hall.
Brillantes said halls, including the Escoda and Romulo halls, were opened by the Baguio Teachers Camp administration to accommodate the increasing Covid-19 cases during the surges in the Delta and Omicron variants. – Dexter A. See
