CMU supports LGU-Maramag’s vaccination campaign to attain Herd Immunity

Through close coordination with the Local Government of Maramag, RHU and the University Hospital conducted a two-day vaccination campaign on September 7-8, 2021, at the Farmers Training Center.

The vaccination campaign aimed to achieve herd immunity. “We should at least vaccinate 70% of our population to achieve herd immunity,” Dr. Jennelyn Joy C. Tizuela, Director of CMU Hospital, said in a phone interview. She further explained that herd immunity means that most of the population in an area is immune to a specific disease.
