Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Police Gen. Guillermo Eleazar on Wednesday (Sep. 29) ordered all police offices and units to prepare for the vaccination of the general population and minors in October.
Eleazar explained that the police with medical background and training will assist in the event to help the government’s vaccination campaign. This also includes the PNP Medical Reserve Force that caters to the COVID-19 patients.
“Inatasan ko na ang ating kapulisan na maghanda para sa malawakang pagbabakuna sa susunod na buwan. Sa ganitong sitwasyon na mas marami na ang maaaring mabakunahan, mas kinakailangan ang serbisyo ng ating mga pulis upang masigurong maayos ang magiging sistema sa ating mga vaccination areas,” he said.
“Hindi naman na bago para sa ating mga kapulisan ang pagtulong sa ating vaccination rollout. Tiwala ako na alam na nila ang gagawin upang masigurong nasusunod ang minimum health standards sa ating mga vaccination sites,” he added.
Meanwhile, the PNP also offered some of its camps as vaccination sites amid the government’s preparation for the adolescents’ and general population’s COVID-19 vaccination.
