The City of Davao has intensified its pediatric vaccination campaign by rolling out a mobile vaccination program against COVID-19 for those aged 12 to 17.
Mobile vaccination is a tested system that augurs well for the city’s aspiration to achieve herd immunity early, possibly before the end of this year.
Dr. Michelle Schlosser, spokesperson of the City COVID-19 task force, said the city is adding more mechanics to expand vaccination as she encouraged parents to have their children get inoculated.
She said it is not only vaccination centers which are open to cater to vaccinees. There are barangays of the city which offer vaccination to those who belong to the pediatric age group, adding that in certain barangays, vaccinees need not queue in vaccination centers becauses some barangay officials themselves are making the rounds registering the minors and administering vaccination themselves, on site.
Schlosser bared that members of the Davao City council and district health officials will also visit some villages to provide shots to those who are qualified for pediatric inoculation.
“Naa man gud parents mahadlok ipagawas ilang mga anak, so we will bring the vaccines to their barangays para paduol sa ilaha,” the city health official said.
Parents, she said, could inquire from their barangay councils on the schedules of the mobile pediatric vaccination. They can also visit the Facebook page of the city government for a list of vaccination hubs.
This is an ideal system good for our city and its goal to protect its citizens from the pandemic.
