The COVID-19 vaccination campaign Road to 80 will be on Tinian on Friday, July 30, with a $1,000 raffle just for Tinian\u2019s vaccinated population, on top of the $2,000 that will be raffled for the entire CNMI vaccinated population.<\/p>\n
To entice more Tinian residents to be vaccinated against COVID-19, Road to 80 will be giving $20 per resident who receives their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine on Friday while supplies last.<\/p>\n
Road to 80 will be at the Tinian Health Center from 9am to 4:30pm, then the winner of the special Tinian raffle will be announced on Facebook Live on Road to 80\u2019s official Facebook page, with raffle host Brad Ruszala streaming the selection on Tinian from the Tinian Mayor\u2019s Office conference room. <\/p>\n
According to the COVID-19 vaccination dashboard found on vaccinatecnmi.com, as of Wednesday afternoon, almost 1,500 Tinian residents are in the special raffle\u2019s selection pool.<\/p>\n
Those on Tinian interested in scheduling their vaccination appointment can do so online at vaccinatecnmi.com or over the phone at 682-SHOT (7468). Road to 80\u2019s Facebook page can be found at https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/roadto80cnmi. <\/p>\n
Ruszala said on Wednesday that he and the rest of Road to 80 are excited to bring the campaign to Saipan\u2019s neighboring islands. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to bring the Road to 80 CNMI across the channel to our brothers and sisters [on] Tinian. This effort is CNMI-wide and we\u2019re coming to Tinian to spice up the vaccination effort in the home of the hottest peppers in the Pacific. We\u2019re thankful to the Tinian Mayor\u2019s Office and the Tinian and Northern Islands Delegation for their support of the Road to 80 and our special vaccination drive this Friday,\u201d said Ruszala.<\/p>\n
When asked if or when Road to 80 will go to Rota, Ruszala said the details for now are \u201ctentative\u201d and will elaborate further sometime later. <\/p>\n
In related news, the Rota Mayor\u2019s Office issued a statement clarifying that Rota is still COVID-19-free, in response to what it described as a false WhatsApp message floating around the island that a case of COVID-19 had been found on Rota.<\/p>\n
The statement urged the Rota community to watch out for misinformation and to follow updates directly from the Governor\u2019s COVID-19 Task Force and the Commonwealth Healthcare Corp. <\/p>\n
Saipan Tribune confirmed with a source at CHCC on Wednesday that Rota has had zero positive cases of COVID-19 thus far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
