Government medical frontliners at the CPU Gymnasium.

More than 1,000 government medical frontliners and an estimated number of 600 senior citizens got vaccinated at Central Philippine University Gymnasium from April 20-21, 2021.

90 frontliners from the university including security guards, doctors, and nurses were also vaccinated.

For the vaccination of city frontliners and senior citizens, CPU has placed protocols for the health and safety of the faculty, staff, clients, and government medical frontliners.

“The preparation on our end is to safeguard the main gate. We don’t want the faculty, staff, clients, and those who will be getting vaccinated to have close contact. Faculty, staff, and clients will pass through the main gate. The vaccinees will have to pass through Gate 6. We have ensured that traffic information and posters will be put up at the main gate, Gate 6, Cabangbang,
and Arguelles,” said Health and Safety Officer Mr. Prim Vergara III.

Gate 8 was added as an exclusive entrance/exit point for those getting vaccinated.

Central Philippine University is one of the city’s vaccination centers alongside Iloilo Science and Technology University, John B. Lacson Foundation Maritime University, Ateneo de Iloilo, and the University of San Agustin.
