Around 1,000 members of the Lesbian Gays Bi-sexual and Transsexual (LGBT) community plus one family member are targeted to be vaccinated on Sunday, September 19, 2021, at Waterfront Insular Hotel vaccination hub in Lanang.
The vaccination rollout, which runs from 7:00 AM- 3:00 PM, is spearheaded by the LGBT Davao City Coalition which has 90 accredited LGBT organizations. This is part of Davao City’s massive vaccination drive to reach 1.2 million vaccinated Dabawenyos by November.
Commissioner Norman Baloro of the Philippine Commission and Urban Poor for Mindanao and Manager for Special Projects in Davao City announced over the Davao City Disaster Radio that vaccination rollout is for every LGBT member in Davao City regardless if they are members of any coalition or not.
A pre-registration will be conducted for those who will avail the vaccination and need to fill out this form available on https://forms.gle/Z7tbK48qZtvgHCbbA.
“Same thing na ginabuhat nato sa atong different sectors and walk-in. They still have to undergo registration, they have to coordinate with the leaders kasi per organization tayo, and kung wala silay organization, or kung wala silay membership sa Davao City LGBT Coalition they can contact the Davao City LGBT lead convenor (It is the same with what we are doing with the different sectors and walk-in. They still have to undergo registration, they have to coordinate with their leaders because we are per organization and if they have no organization or membership to any Davao City LGBT Coalition, they can contact the lead convenor),” Baloro said.
Baloro said that those who are interested may contact 09388649209- Reggie Ningning, the lead convenor of LGBT Davao City. CIO
