Healthcare workers manning vaccination sites have recovered from COVID-19 infection and the Davao City authorities have reopened the People’s Park and Crocodile Park vaccination sites.
This was the announcement of Dr. Michelle Schlosser, spokesperson of the Davao City COVID-19 Task Force midweek.
The healthcare workers, many of whom were positive with mild and asymptomatic cases, are now being screened and deployed back to the two vaccination sites.
This means that the city is back in the vigorous business of vaccinating more city residents.
But of course it is not all a bed of roses in so far as the efforts of the city to inoculate residents are concerned.
There are still many Dabawenyos who hesitate if not refuse to be vaccinated.
To the surprise of the city authorities many religious groups advise their members not to submit themselves to vaccination.
It is our hope that the city authorities will soon find creative ways to counter this vaccination hesitancy for Davao City to soon reach herd immunity and defeat the pandemic.
