An orientation with the theme "Sa Booster Pinalakas, Sabay Tayong Babangon, Magpabooster Ngayon" was held last August 10, 2022 via Zoom Meeting and was attended by students, parents, and faculty members of Quezon City University.
Dr. Bradford Antonio C. Martinez, DBA, QCU's Vice President for Academic Affairs, made the opening remarks and encouraged everyone to get vaccinated and boosted. He stated that face-to-face interaction will be frequent, especially since QCU's learning modality is blended learning, and he encourages everyone to get their booster shots.
Dr. Theresita V. Atienza, the university president, complemented Dr. Martinez opening statement with a speech and presentation. She claimed that practically all QCU faculty members and 90% or more of the university's students had received immunizations. She spoke about the value of booster shots and the positive effects that individuals will experience from them during the orientation.
Dr. Atienza further stated, "Beyond the stats, what we need is a booster shot." She also expressed her gratitude to the Quezon City Health Department for supporting this kind of endeavour.
Dr. Malu Elaria, the overall in charge for the vaccination activities within the Quezon City, explained what PinasLakas is. She said that it is a 100 days vaccination campaign ordered by President Ferdinand Marcos to promote safety and protection against the Covid19 Virus. The said campaign will simultaneously happen in different parts of each city.
The forthcoming deployment of booster shots on Monday, August 15, 2022 (today) at QCU Batasan Campus beginning at 8 am was also promoted by Dr. Atienza.
