City Mayor John Geesnell Yap II encouraged all the Tagbilaranons to take an active part in the vaccination drive, especially now that there is an alarming increase of Coronavirus disease (Covid) cases in the country as monitored by the OCTA Research Group in its report released by the Philippine Daily Inquirer on December 31, 2021.
