TINGNI: Sumasailalim sa Training of Trainers for Basic National Immunization Program (NIP) ang mga doktor, midwife, at nurse ng City Health Office (CHO) mula October 28–30.

Layunin ng pagsasanay na mapalakas ang kakayahan at madagdagan ang kaalaman at kasanayan ng mga health personnel ng pamahalaang lungsod upang mas mabisang maipatupad ang mga serbisyong may kinalaman sa pagbabakuna.

Kabilang sa mga paksang tinalakay ay ang Functions of Health Center and Immunization Program Management at Conducting Immunization and Ensuring Safe Injection na ipinaliwanag ni NIP Assistant Layna Kathrina Julian mula sa Center for Health Development (CHD) CALABARZON.

Tinalakay naman ni Daisy Dalisay ng Provincial Health Office (PHO) ang Vaccine-Preventable Diseases, habang ipinaliwanag ni Nurse Eloisa Cabreros ang pamamahala ng Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI).

Samantala, tatalakayin ni NIP Nurse Program Manager Liceria Garcia ng CHO ang Reaching Every Purok (REP) Strategy, at ibabahagi naman ni Nurse Gail Marek ang paksa hinggil sa Health Promotion, Social Mobilization, and Social Behavior Change.

Ang naturang pagsasanay ay mahalagang hakbang upang matiyak na ang mga manggagawang pangkalusugan ng lokal na pamahalaan ay makapaghatid ng mataas na kalidad ng serbisyong pagbabakuna, lalo na para sa mga bata, buntis, at senior citizens.

Ang Batangas City ay kabilang sa mga unang lungsod sa rehiyon na nagsagawa ng ganitong uri ng training. (PIO Batangas City)
