Davao City Covid-19 Task Force spokesperson Dr. Michelle Schlosser the City Council aims to achieve herd immunity in the critical risk barangays to help the city achieve the target herd immunity.
“Ang reason why atong good councilors dili nila gina-stop ang mobile vaccination kay ang ilang tumong gyud is for the critical risk barangays maka-achieve dayon og herd immunity. In that way, maka-assure ta ba nga protected gyud sila labaw na tong persistent ang number sa cases,” she said.
She said that efforts of the councilors and the Office of Vice Mayor Sebastian “Baste” Duterte is much appreciated especially since the SP-led vaccination targets herd immunity in barangays, particularly in Covid-19 risk areas.
