All systems are in place to ensure the unhampered transport of the first shipment of COVD 19 vaccines that will arrive in the country tomorrow.
PNP units are fully prepared to perform their assigned duties under the task organization of PNP Vaccination Plan “Caduceus” which is the strategic plan that will operationalize all security and public safety operations for the vaccine roll-out in the coming weeks and months, following the arrival of the vaccine shipments from abroad.
PNP Vaccination Plan “Caduceus” sets forth the security and public safety guidelines and procedures to be undertaken by the PNP in support to the Philippine National COVID-19 Deployment and Vaccination Plan, as a member of the Task Group (TG) Vaccine Cold Chain and Logistics Management, Task Group Immunization Program, and Task Group Demand Generation and Communication.
We have gone through a series of planning wokshops and simulation exercises to ensure organized and orderly transport of the vaccine shipment to the storage facilities and distribution hubs on D-day when the vaccine roll-ou shall commence.
On need basis, we will be guided by the instructions of national health authorities to administer the vaccine to PNP personnel whom we have identified among the priority recipients such as those assigned to frontline medical and health care duties, as well as those who will be fielded to assist DOH personnel in administering the vaccine and other police frontliners.
We are confident that our nation will pull through, bounce back and heal as one.
God bless the Philippines.
