The city government of Davao is set to roll out pediatric inoculation for children aged 5 years old to 11 years old tentatively scheduled on February 21, 2022.
Dr. Michelle Schlosser, spokesperson of Davao City Covid-19 Task Force, said this will happen if nothing goes wrong especially in the logistical side of the program.
“Naa nata’y tentative date February 21 and usually pag tentative most often than not pag wala gyud ta’y mga kakulian sa atoang supply like the vaccines and logistics, mapatupad gyud nato na. Ang atong manpower is on standby na,” she said.
The city government has identified special sites for the inoculation of the 5 years old to 11 years old namely Almendras Gym, San Roque Central Elementary School, and Vicente Hizon Elementary School.
Schlosser said walk-ins are allowed in these sites.
Schlosser said the city is also looking at establishing district sites and has already identified areas namely F. Dizon Elementary School for District 1, Abreeza Mall for District 3, SM Lanang Premier for District 2, Gmall Toril for District 3, and Holy Cross of Calinan for District 3.
“Mao ni ang atong mga ginatan awan na mga district sites, although wala pa ta’y date ani,” she said.
On February 14, 2022 vaccination for pediatrics five to 11 years was piloted in the Southern Philippines Medical Center (SPMC) and the Davao Medical School Foundation (DMSF) Hospital.
“We have also gathered na open to the public na si DMSF ang kinahanglan lang is pre-registraiton sa Safe DQR which is already posted sa atoang city government of Davao Facebook Page. Ang atong SPMC will also open to the public ang atong ginahulat kung unsa ang proseso sa registration,” Schlosser said.
