In its bid to safeguard residents and help reduce the number of COVID-19 cases hitting their city, the local government of Santa Rosa, Laguna launched its website registration portal for its vaccination program powered by ePLDT. This initiative is part of ePLDT’s ongoing efforts to support LGUs across the country to help curb the rising cases of COVID-19 through reliable and secure technology.
With the hashtag #LetsGetVacSANTAROSA, the city has launched an online registration portal for qualified Santa Rosa residents for its vaccination rollout. The portal is deployed in Microsoft Azure Stack which is hosted in ePLDT’s VITRO Data Center and is secured via ePLDT Cybersecurity solutions such as DNS Security and SSL-Certificates.
Jovy Hernandez, ePLDT President & CEO and SVP & Head for PLDT and Smart Enterprise Business Groups explains the urgency of equipping local governments with PLDT and ePLDT solutions, saying that “The need to quickly deploy the vaccine registration portal of Santa Rosa City is a priority, especially now that vaccines are available.
