(MANILA BULLETIN) The DILG had initially set the road clearing operation deadline to Jan. 15 but extended it to Jan. 22 due to the clamor of local government units (LGUs). The deadline was put off anew after the DILG considered that the LGUs are preoccupied with their preparation for their COVID-19 vaccination plans. The DILG has issued Memorandum no. 2021-007 tasking the LGUs to come up with a local vaccination plan that contains the preparation of risk communication plans and conduct of early vaccine communication campaign to disseminate critical information on COVID-19 vaccination. The plan must also include a master list of priority eligible vaccine population; identification of possible vaccine centers, available cold chain storages, and other logistical requirements; and a master list of existing human resources and personnel needed in the vaccination program, among others.
