QC Health Workers Get Vaccine Jabs

“It marks the start of the end of the pandemic,” Guzon told reporters during the rollout of the vaccines for QCGH personnel.

Guzon, who is a COVID survivor, was among the first five medical front liners who received one of the 300 doses of CoronaVac allocated to the city-operated hospital.

“This completes the whole cycle of my pandemic,” Guzon said, citing her experiences as the manager of the HOPE quarantine facilities established by the local government and as a COVID patient. “I hope that other health workers and my family are proud of what I did for them.”

According to Guzon, she never hesitated about getting the China-made vaccine instead of the Pfizer vaccine.
