MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine National Police’s Medical Reserve Force was deployed to various Quezon City vaccination centers to help out in administering the COVID-19 vaccines and prevent long lines and overcrowding. So we decided to deploy our Medical Reserve Force to help those in charge of our vaccination sites,” he said, adding that the personnel would be provided personal protective equipment and vitamins. Personnel from the National Capital Region Police Office’s Medical and Dental Unit will begin their reorientation on vaccination in preparation for the inoculation of essential government workers eyed this month. Members of the PNP-MRF will also be given a refresher course or reorientation for the administration of the vaccines before deployment. “We will continue to coordinate and assess the situation with the Department of Health and our LGUs to determine other vaccination centers in need of manpower," the police chief said.
