Ang pandemya ng COVID-19 ay nagdulot ng masidhing sakit at pagkamatay ng marami sa buong mundo, Nananatili ang isang agarang pandaigdigang pangangailangan na maihanda ang mga bakunang ito para sa COVID-19 at i-deploy ang mga ito sa lahat ng bansa at inirerekomendang gamitin ang WHO Prioritization Roadmap at ang WHO Values Framework bilang gabay para sa kanilang pagpapa-una sa mga target na grupo. Inirerekomenda ng WHO Prioritization Roadmap na ang priyoridad na paggamit ng bakuna ay ibigay sa pinakamataas na priority-use group o ang mga manggagawang pangkalusugan (A1), matatandang tao (A2), mga taong may katamtaman patungo sa malubhang karamdaman o immunocompromised (A3), at mga high priority-use group o ang mga taong may comorbidities, guro at buntis na kababaihan. Sa loob ng kapasidad ng mga programang ito at pagkakaroon ng bakuna, ang mga karagdagang pangkat na gumagamit ng priyoridad ay dapat mabakunahan gaya ng nakabalangkas sa WHO Prioritization Roadmap, na isinasaalang-alang ang pambansang data ng epidemiological at iba pang nauugnay na mga konsiderasyon.

Ang mga ligtas at epektibong bakuna ay gumagawa ng malaking kontribusyon sa pagpigil sa malubhang sakit at kamatayan dulot ng COVID-19. Habang lumalabas ang mga bakuna at lumalakas ang kaligtasan sa sakit, mahalagang patuloy na sundin ang lahat ng inirerekomendang hakbang na nagbabawas sa pagkalat ng SARS-CoV-2. Kabilang dito ang pisikal na pagdistansya ng iyong sarili sa iba; pagsusuot ng face mask, lalo na sa masikip na lugar at mahinang bentilasyon; madalas na paghuhugas ng iyong mga kamay; tinatakpan ang ilong at bibig kung uubo o babahing sa pamamagitan ng panyo o tissue na available o kahit sa loob ng iyong siko; at pagbubukas ng mga bintana kapag nasa loob ng bahay.

In cooperation with Barangay San Dionisio Health Center, San Dionisio Credit Cooperative conducted COVID -19 Vaccination for the 1st and 2nd dose (primary series), 1st and 2nd booster shot last August 11 & 25, September 28, October 5, and thiscoming December 16 from 8am – 12nn at the SDCC Covered Court.

The pandemic COVID-19 caused severe disease and death of majority of population in the whole world. An immediate worldwide necessity to prepare and deploy this COVID-19 Vaccination in all countries was recommended using the WHO Prioritization Roadmap and the WHO Values Framework as a guide for the prioritization of target group. The WHO Prioritization Roadmap recommended that the preference in prioritizing the of vaccination was to be provided to the highest priority-use group or the health workers (A1), the elderlies (A2), people with average to serious health problem or immunocompromised (A3), and those high priority-use group or people with comorbidities, teachers and pregnant women. Within the capacity of this program, and the availability of vaccination, additional groups having the preference must be vaccinated as outlined in the WHO Prioritization Roadmap, and considered in the national data of epidemiological and other related considerations.


The safe and effective vaccination is undertaking a great contribution in the prevention of serious disease and death caused by COVID-19. While the vaccines come out, protection and safety net were strengthened. It is important to follow all the recommended steps which reduces the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Included here is the physical distancing of ourselves from others; wearing of face mask, specially in the crowded and poor ventilated areas; frequent washing of hands; covering of the nose and mouth when coughing or through the handkerchief or available tissue or within your elbows or opening the windows if you are in the house.
