Gov. Tubban tells eligible recipients to take advantage of the free vaccination

Tabuk City, Kalinga-Provincial Governor Ferdinand B. Tubban encouraged the public specifically those who are eligible to be inoculated such as the health workers and those with controlled co-morbidity to take advantage of the available vaccines.

Just today, April 22, the governor and his wife Dr. Ana Lua Tubban, had their first jab of Sinovac vaccine at the Kalinga Provincial Hospital.

“The best vaccine is the available vaccine and I am encouraging our “Kakailyan” to take advantage of whatever vaccine is at hand and trust the government’s program that this will safeguard our health,” says Tubban.

The governor explained that to be vaccinated is a way of protecting, taking care and saving not only one’s self, but also their loved ones.

“This is an opportunity for us to protect ourselves, our families and loved ones. We can also save lives from this. Let us grab every chance of having ourselves, or our family members who are qualified to be vaccinated. Lagipen tayu laengen ti ayat tayo ti pamilya tayo ken dagituy kakadwa a makasalamuha tayo, haan laeng para iti bagi tayo ti panunuten tayo nu ket para ti buong umili,” the Governor added.

He said that the COVID-19 cannot continuously affect his health condition and restrain him from working, which had been limiting him from giving his personal services to the people.

In an update, Provincial Health Officer Dr. Edward Tandingan said that 82% of the more than 4,000 vaccine doses received by the province were already utilized as of April 20, 2021.

“Some of the vaccines a haan pay a nausar ket mausar met lang kadagiay quick submission listor kadagiay sumaruno a group,” he said.
