More Baguio jab sites to lessen crowds

By Gaby Keith

BAGUIO CITY -- Crowded lines in four mega vaccine sites here are expected to ease up once district and satellite vaccination areas open.
    This is in addition to existing vaccination sites in the Summer Capital.
    The residents of Barangay Atok Trail, Loakan, Irisan, Atab, Mines View and Pacdal would benefit in the said vaccination program because these villages are far from the mega sites.
    For Atok trail and Loakan, the Philippine Export Zone Authority offered their site; for Atab, the Divine Mercy Church area shall be sanitized to serve the purpose, and permission from City Schools Division Superintendent is needed for Irisan's use of Elpidio Quirino Elementary School. Satellite vaccination venues such as the Baguio City Police Office and the City Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office were utilized late last month with the Rillera Building at the City Public Market marked for the same purpose.
    The Rillera Building was also used as a registration site for vaccination.
    The University of the Cordilleras High School shall be utilized for the City Camp area, with the Loakan airport as drive-through vaccination site for drivers, and the Baguio City National High School for teachers.
    The Baguio Country Club site would also serve workers, pony boys and small store owners within the vicinity.
