Families of senior citizens and persons with disability (PWDs) are urged to approach their respective purok or barangay leaders and enlist them for the door-to-door vaccination roll out of the city government of Davao.
The city government will boost its anti-Covid vaccination campaign by conducting a house-to-house (door-to-door) vaccination drive to seek qualified unvaccinated individuals, especially the senior citizens who have mobility challenges to go to different jab sites.
“For us to be able to conduct door-to-door maghangyo mi sa tanang katawhan na naay relatives na senior citizens and persons with comorbidities na mahadlok muadto ug vaccination hub, this is the best opportunity na muduol sa inyong purok leaders or barangay leaders para magpalista sa door-to-door vaccination activity,” said Dr. Michelle Schlosser, spokesperson of the Davao City Covid-19 Task Force on Wednesday.
Schlosser said the best strategy is to coordinate with the senior citizens organizations in the barangay for them to be able to know who have not been vaccinated yet.
“We will be utilizing our Barangay Health Emergency Response Teams (BHERTs) kay sila ang nakabalo sa ilang constituents kung kinsa ang senior citizens ang wala pa nabakunahan. As soon as naa nata’y listahan ana we will be able to do door-to-door, it would be easy for us to roll out basta naa mi complete na listahan,” she said.
Schlosser said this is a more intensive plan to cater to senior citizens who are vulnerable and mostly with medical conditions. She also said this is also on top of the Sangguniang Panlungsod-led vaccinations held in barangay and the public vaccinations.
Meanwhile, the Office of the Vice Mayor Sebastian “Baste” Duterte already issued guidelines on the door-to-door vaccination which can only be availed by bedridden senior citizens, persons with disabilities (PWDs), those who cannot move or walk to the fixed vaccination sites. Household members who can go out for the vaccines will not be catered to.
The team from Vice Mayor’s Office will contact the applicants for screening and scheduling for the door-to-door vaccination. A single dose will be administered and doctors will also be present during the door-to-door vaccination for physical screening of individuals.
Eligible persons will have to send their personal information (full name, condition, address, and contact number) through text in these numbers: 0970) 274 7025 for SMART/TNT; (0995) 175 0064 for GLOBE.
