The deployment of “Bakuna Buses” to various locations nationwide is part of the efforts of the country's premier humanitarian organization to support the National COVID-19 Vaccination Program.

The PRC has already vaccinated 208,795 individuals in its 16 “Bakuna Buses” and twenty PRC “Bakuna Centers” nationwide as of Sept. 13.

“With vaccines received from the local government, one BAKUNA BUS can vaccinate 300 to 500 individuals during an eight-hour operation,” PRC said.

Outside of the vaccine, the PRC shoulders all other costs under the COVID-19 vaccination program of the government including but not limited to syringes, mobilization, and vaccinator allowances.
