On Tuesday night, at least nine personnel from the Commonwealth Health Center, including two nurses, administered the vaccine to community members at the Garapan Fishing Base.
Angela Rosario, manager of the H1N1 drive on that day, said they continue to get “a good number of people who avail of the free vaccination.”
The program started at 5 p.m. and ended at 9:30 p.m. with over 145 persons given the flu shot, Rosario said.
She said Emergency Medical Services personnel John Mettao and Alejandro King were present and ready to respond to any emergency cases.
