Meanwhile, the Office of the Presidential Assistant for the Visayas officially culminated the rollout of the Visayas COVID-19 Vaccination Operations Center (VVOC) Manual Saturday after it was cascaded to all LGUs in the three Visayas regions.
“With the culmination of the VVOC Manual rollout in the Visayas, I now declare Visayas is ready for community vaccination,” Presidential Assistant for the Visayas Secretary Michael Lloyd Dino said in a press release.
From its successful pilot rollout in Cebu province, the vaccination manual has since been made available to the rest of Central, Eastern and Western Visayas LGUs. The VVOC manual aims to capacitate them in preparing for the vaccination of their general population, it said.
“With the cooperation from our leaders who share a strong compassion for our people, I believe we are going in the right direction. To roll out the Philippine National Deployment and Vaccination Plan for COVID-19, we have cascaded the VVOC Manual to the Regional and Local COVID-19 Vaccination Operations Centers,” Dino said.*
