Boston town checking vax cards of entrants to Davao Oriental




DAVAO ORIENTAL, Jan. 27 (PIA)—The Municipal Government of Boston in Davao Oriental is enforcing  the checking of vaccination cards of commuters and riders entering the regional borders with Davao de Oro, Agusan del Sur and Surigao del Sur.


Guesting during the latest edition of Network Briefing News, Boston Municipal Mayor Rowell Rosit said he has instructed police of the border checkpoints to ask for the vaccination cards of all those entering the province.


The last east-coast town at the northern tip of Davao Oriental,  the Municipality of Boston bears the task of checking entrants to the province coming from the three adjacent provinces.


“Kailangan po ng vaccination card bago  pumasok sa probinysa Davao Oriental para na din po sa safety ng ating mga kababayan.  (Vaccination card is needed before  entering Davao Oriental for the safety of our fellows in Davao Oriental),” he said.


Meanwhile, Boston already hit 90.4 percent vaccination rate but Mayor Rosit is still aiming to reach out and convince more constituents to get themselves vaccinated.

 

Rosit said he had no difficulty  convincing his constituents to get  jabbed as he had coordinated with and mobilized Punong  Barangays to advocate and rallied people to avail of the free COVID-19 vaccination.
