The Philippine Red Cross (PRC) has a total of nine “Bakuna” or vaccination centers established in Metro Manila and Luzon.
As of July 8, the organization’s vaccination centers include the PRC PLMC Mandaluyong; PRC Pasay Chapter; PRC Port Area, Manila; PRC Kabaka Manila; PRC Letran Manila; PRC Rizal Chapter- Arcovia Mall Pasig; San Lorenzo Mall Makati; and PRC SM Olongapo Downtown.
The latest addition is the PRC “Bakuna” Center in Tarlac Citywalk Mall. The PRC provided jabs to frontliners and their families on July 6 in the new said location - which is the first “Bakuna” Center outside Metro Manila.
PRC staff and volunteers in partnership with the doctors of Tarlac Medical Society conducted a successful dry run vaccinating 40 individuals of mostly frontliners with Sinovac.
Present at the opening of the new PRC Bakuna Center was PRC Secretary General Elizabeth Zavalla, Assistant Secretary General Ramon Murillo, Head of Molecular Laboratory Dr. Paulyn Ubial, and Clinical Services Coordinator Dr. Noel Bernardo.
The Local Government Unit (LGU) of Tarlac and the Department of Health (DOH) acknowledged the efforts of PRC for the “Bakuna Center.” Thus, it was instantly accredited and was issued a “CBCR” or C19 Bakuna Center Registry.
PRC said that the new “Bakuna” Center will open beginning next week. The clinic hours will be on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Inquiries may be sent to the PRC Tarlac Chapter.
