The city government of Davao is intensifying its vaccination campaign by rolling out a weekend vaccination drive for minors aged 12 to 17 and adults as well for those individuals and workers who cannot take a break from work on weekdays.
Dr. Michelle Schlosser, spokesperson of the Davao City Covid-19 Task Force, said the city is targeting to start the weekend vaccination drive next weekend or after the city government finishes to set up the needed logistics and the assigned manpower.
“We will have our weekend vaccination rollout – possible this week or next week but we are aiming na maka (that we can) open this coming Saturday. This is not for five to eleven (5-11), this will be for twelve to seventeen (12-17) years old and adults. Ginapag-usapan na nato ang para sa special hubs nato. We are gradually opening up weekend hubs para dili pud kalit and hapsay pud siya,” she said.
Schlosser also said that the vaccination site in Crocodile Park, which will be inspected within the week, is best for those who have vehicles.
She added that Dabawenyos can also avail of the anti-Covid vaccines at the fixed vaccination sites and the door-to-door vaccination.
On the other hand, Schlosser urged Dabawenyos to get booster shots during the weekend vaccination drive.
“We remind everyone that we need to have booster dose. Gwapo ang atoang output for the first and second dose pero ang booster dose medyo admittedly hinay gyud siya. Dili lang unta makalimot ang tao nga kinahanglan gyud ang booster dili lang Covid-19 vaccine, even ang atoang routine vaccines naa gyud siya’y booster,” she said.
