PRESIDENT of the Negros Occidental Medical Society and the president of the Philippine Society for Microbiology and Infectious Diseases-Negros Occidental Chapter and four other medical practitioners were the first in Bacolod to be vaccinated with CoronaVac — the vaccine of Chinese company Sinovac — at the Bacolod City Government Center on March 5.

“This is historic! This is the first vaccine to arrive in Bacolod. Let it be part of history that the first vaccination in Western Visayas happened in Bacolod City, as the first Covid-19 case in Western Visayas was also recorded in Bacolod City. This makes today’s event more significant and meaningful,” Mayor Evelio Leonardia said.
