AMBASSADOR LAGDAMEO GETS VACCINATED, URGES FILIPINOS IN THE UK AND IRELAND TO BE IMMUNIZED
Ambassador Antonio M. Lagdameo has urged the Filipino community in the UK and Ireland to protect their families, friends and their communities by coming forward for vaccination against COVID-19, as he received his 2nd dose of the COVID-19 vaccine on 07 April. The Ambassador was given his 1st dose in January.
Expressing gratefulness for the opportunity to be immunized against COVID-19, Ambassador Lagdameo hailed the scientists, medical experts and other individuals who worked hard to develop and produce COVID-19 vaccines, as well as the frontline medical workers, especially Filipino nurses and other frontliners in the UK and Ireland, who continue to make sacrifices as they help in the fight against COVID-19.
