The city government decides to not proceed with the Bayanihan Bakunahan 2 mass vaccination campaign from December 15 to 17 and close down all COVID-19 vaccination centers in anticipation of a typhoon.

CAGAYAN DE ORO, Philippines – The city government called off a three-day mass vaccination campaign as it focused on preparations to cushion the impact of a storm feared to affect parts of Mindanao exactly the same day Cagayan de Oro saw its worst environmental disaster a decade ago.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration in El Salvador City, Misamis Oriental, said the province and Cagayan de Oro City were in the “circle of uncertainty,” even as it called on local officials and residents to prepare. Jabagat said heavy rainfall in Bukidnon spawned the floods that inundated the riverside villages of Carmen and Macasandig, Cagayan de Oro, when “Sendong” struck in 2011.

Misamis Oriental disaster controls chief Fernando Vincent Dy said the Coast Guard already prevented vessels less than 200 tons from venturing out to sea.
