“The Western Mindanao Command through the Naval Forces Western Mindanao and the Joint Task Force Tawi-Tawi successfully transported the Sinovac and Astrazeneca vaccines to Mapun Island that benefitted more or less 200 healthcare workers in the municipalities of Mapun and Turtle Islands,” Western Mindanao Command Chief Lt. Gen. Corleto Vinluan, Jr disclosed.
The vaccines were administered by the medical team from the Integrated Provincial Health Office of Tawi-Tawi headed by Dr. Sangkula Laja at the District Hospital of Cagayan de Tawi-Tawi in Barangay Lupa Pila, Mapun.
“We are happy to be of service to the people especially during this crucial time when we are all battling against an invisible foe, the Coronavirus, which has claimed lives and afflicted many,” Joint Task Force Tawi-Tawi Commander Brig. Gen. Arturo Rojas said.
Additionally, personnel of the Department of Social Welfare and Development also embarked the navy vessel on the same voyage to distribute 4Ps grants and deliver other essential government services and supplies to the indigent people.
“The Naval Forces Western Mindanao (NFWM) is taking the lead in transporting the vaccines to the far-flung municipalities and provinces to ensure its timely delivery and inoculation,” NFWM Commander Rear Admiral Toribio Adaci, Jr also said.
