📣 LOOK | Strengthening Vaccine Advocacy through Communication! 🩺💬💉
A successful Roll-Out Orientation on Interpersonal Communication and Counseling (IPCC) was conducted for our Bakuna Champions — our hardworking Barangay Health Workers (BHWs) — as part of our ongoing efforts to improve community health education and vaccine confidence! 🙌💪
This activity aimed to equip our frontliners with essential skills in empathetic listening, effective communication, and counseling, enabling them to better address vaccine hesitancy and promote health-seeking behaviors in our communities.

🩺 Dr. Cheeryl Mae B. Macasarte
👩⚕️ Municipal Health Officer

🌟 Highlight of the event: A heartfelt closing and inspirational message from our beloved Mayor Arlene Alisasis who recognized the BHWs as true community heroes and reaffirmed full LGU support in building a healthier, vaccine-informed population. ❤️💪
We are proud of our Barangay Health Workers who continue to serve with compassion, dedication, and resilience. As newly empowered Bakuna Champions, they will now be stronger voices of truth and hope in every barangay. 🙌💉
Together, let’s continue to protect our communities — one conversation, one vaccine, one life at a time.
