LAMUT, Ifugao (PIA) - - The municipal local government unit (MLGU) here established a vaccination area at the provincial border quarantine checkpoint manned by personnel from the rural health unit.  

The additional vaccination area caters to individuals who are willing to be inoculated before entering the province as the “No vaccination card, No entry” policy is in effect until December 10. This is also to help increase the number of vaccinated individuals in the municipality to achieve herd immunity.
