BALANGA CITY, Bataan – The provincial government of Bataan will hand out five kilograms of rice as early Christmas present to each of those who will be inoculated against coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) during the three-day national vaccination campaign from Nov. 29 to Dec. 1, 2021.
Under the “Handog sa Bakunadong Bataeño” program, an individual will receive the rice after being inoculated with either the first dose, second dose or the booster shot at any inoculation site in the province's 11 towns and one city, as well as in the mobile "Vax on Wheels".
“Ito’y bilang pakikiisa sa Bayanihan, Bakunahan ng Department of Health upang masiguro ang pangmatagalang proteksiyon ng ating mga kababayan laban sa pandemya at maipagpatuloy ang pagbaba ng mga kaso ng coronavirus disease sa Bataan (This is in cooperation with the Bayanihan, Bakunahan of the Department of Health to ensure the long-time protection of our province-mates against the pandemic and for the continuous decline of the coronavirus disease cases in Bataan),” Governor Albert Garcia said in social media post on Sunday.
He said he is encouraging all to avail of the free vaccination against Covid-19 in order to attain the high percentage of vaccinated population that would signal the opening of businesses and return of the vibrancy of the local economy.
Garcia earlier discussed the rice provision program via Zoom in his town hall meetings with all the mayors, barangay chairpersons and municipal health officers.
“Naglalayon ang programang ito na maging matagumpay ang malawakang pagbabakuna lalo na sa hanay ng mga kababayan nating nag-aalinlangan pa ring tumanggap ng bakuna laban sa Covid-19 magpa-hanggang sa ngayon,” (This program aims to make the extensive vaccination successful, especially among our province-mates who are still apprehensive about receiving the vaccine against Covid-19 until now),” he added.
