Greetings of peace and good health!
Roll out of COVID-19 vaccines has already begun in the Philippines. However, as COVID-19 cases continue to rise in the country, vaccine hesitancy among Filipinos remains high, as indicated by a recent survey. Among the reasons why people refuse to get vaccinated are: not sure of its safety, vaccine might not be effective, and a vaccine is not needed to combat COVID-19.
In this light, the St. Camillus Center for Humanization in Health will conduct “COVID-19 BAKUNA, LIGTAS AT MABISA BA?”, a free internet forum and webinar on building COVID-19 vaccination confidence, on April 23, 2021; Friday; 7:00 to 8:00 PM via Zoom. To join, please click this Zoom link --- http://bit.ly/COVID19BakunaLM. The webinar will also be live-streamed on the following pages: The Camillians, St. Camillus Center for Humanization in Health, and Camillus MedHaven Nursing Home.
The webinar is a contribution of the Camillians, through the St. Camillus Center for Humanization in Health, to the ongoing discussion whether to get oneself vaccinated or not vaccinated against the COVID-19, a topic that is presently being debated world-wide, more so in the Philippines with its recent experience on vaccines. Through the webinar, the Camillians hope to help in clarifying many perceptions about the issue and in the decision-making process of the Filipinos, especially among the elderly population. Participants to the webinar will also have the opportunity to type in their questions in the Zoom chat box and in the comment section of The Camillians page which will then be conveyed for the speaker to answer.
Resource speaker, Dr. Cheridine Oro-Josef, family and geriatric medicine specialist and consultant of Camillus MedHaven Nursing Home and Jesuit Health and Wellness Center, will discuss the webinar’s topic.
Target participants will be senior citizens and their loved ones and nursing homes.
Looking forward to your active participation in this webinar.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Fr. John Jay C. Magpusao, MI, RMT, STL
