This morning, March 8, Robinson, together with the medical officers of the Camp Elias Angeles Station Hospital (CEASH) and personnel of the Department of Health (DOH)-Bicol personally received the vaccines at the 9ID Headquarters via the Philippine Air Force’s Black Hawk helicopter.
MGen Robinson expressed his full support to the government’s vaccination program and considered the arrival of the vaccine as a positive development to the government’s intensified campaign against COVID-19.
“We, in the JTF Bicolandia, wholeheartedly support our government’s earnest desire to defeat the COVID-19 which has plagued our country and caused extreme suffering to the Filipinos for a year now. As we continue to stand on the frontline in this fierce battle, it is only deemed necessary to safeguard our soldiers who are exposed and vulnerable to the threat of this virus,” the official added.
In a press statement, Division Public Affairs Office (DPAO) Spokesperson Capt. John Paul Belleza, stated that a total of 300 recipients from the prioritization list of 9ID will be inoculated.
“Priority of the first dose will be the healthcare workers of 9ID while the remaining vaccines will be intended for other military personnel and CAFGU Active Auxilliaries (CAAs),” Belleza explained.
Cpt. Eusebio Alcera III, Executive Officer of CEASH, the said vaccines will be temporarily stored at the Camarines Sur Environment, Disaster Management, and Emergency Response Office (EDMERO) Vaccination Operation Center, the only facility with a cold chain storage.
CEASH though, under Dr. Alcera explained that the vaccination will be implemented only after a vaccination simulation is completed, a DOH requirement for the accreditation of the vaccination site. (PIA5/Camarines Sur, with reports from CJPBelleza-DPAO)
