Two new public service announcements (PSA<\/abbr>s) are encouraging the Filipino community to get fully vaccinated as the number of COVID-19 infections remain high with a new variant lurking. <\/p>\n

The videos feature members of the Filipino community and were produced by the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at M\u0101noa John A. Burns School of Medicine<\/a> (JABSOM<\/abbr>) and EMME INC. for broadcast and social media channels.<\/p>\n

“Vaccination and preventative measures are our best way forward. Help keep yourself, your family, our community and health-workers safe,” said Lee Buenconsejo-Lum<\/strong>, associate dean of academic affairs at JABSOM<\/abbr>. “These PSA<\/abbr>s speak to the Filipino community whom we hope will understand the importance and need for ourselves and our loved ones—to vaccinate.”<\/p>\n
