The Rotaract Club of Tacloban successfully conducted Club Health Check 2.0: Free Pneumococcal Vaccine on November 22, 2025 at Tacloban City, an initiative aimed at promoting health and disease prevention among its members and their families. The activity highlighted the club’s continued commitment to strengthening community well-being through accessible health services.
Held as part of the club’s health and wellness initiatives, the event provided free pneumococcal vaccines to Rotaractors and their loved ones. Pneumococcal vaccination plays a crucial role in preventing infections caused by pneumococcal bacteria, which can lead to serious illnesses such as pneumonia, meningitis, and bloodstream infections. By organizing the vaccination drive, the club sought to encourage preventive healthcare practices among its members and ensure that families also benefited from essential immunization.
The activity was further strengthened by the presence and participation of District Rotaract Representative Jacob Erm Jericho Dolino, RN, PHF, who joined the initiative and actively assisted in administering the vaccines during the event. His involvement underscored the importance of leadership support in advancing health-related service projects within the Rotaract community.
The club also expressed its gratitude to Mrs. Rhodora Pongos of the Tacloban City Hospital for her invaluable assistance and support in making the vaccination activity possible. Through collaborative efforts with healthcare professionals and local institutions, the initiative was successfully implemented, ensuring that participants received proper guidance and care during the vaccination process.
Beyond providing medical protection, the event also fostered camaraderie and solidarity among members of the organization. Rotaractors gathered not only to receive vaccines but also to reaffirm their shared commitment to promoting health, safety, and mutual care within their community.
The Club Health Check 2.0 initiative reflects the Rotaract Club of Tacloban’s dedication to service above self. By prioritizing preventive healthcare, the organization continues to empower its members and their families to build healthier lives while strengthening the spirit of service and unity, proving that collective care and action remain at the heart of Rotaract service.
