TACLOBAN CITY – After initially saying that the city government of Ormoc will be buying vaccines good for 30 to 40 percent of the city’s 240,000 residents with an estimated cost of P200-million, City Mayor Richard Gomez announced that the Ormoc City coronavirus disease (COVID-19) Vaccine Council (ORCOVAC) has decided to buy vaccines for at least 80 percent of the population.
The ORCOVAC said the city government has enough money to buy more. “The vaccination program is our priority this year,” Mayor Gomez said.
The Ormoc City COVID-19 Vaccine Council is a body created by Gomez on December 29, 2020, to study ways and means to implement the COVID-19 vaccination program. It is composed of top city officials and representatives of the private sector.
