The Davao City Covid-19 Task Force is working out procedures on how to relocate vaccination hubs to the district health centers.
Covid-19 Task Force spokesperson Dr. Michelle Schlosser said the task force is creating a transition team to led the redeployment of the vaccination hubs and is hoping that the team will come up a decision within the week.
“Nagstart na sila (vaccination cluster) ug create ug transition team, but the finality of the decision whether ma-transfer siya sa district health office, at the moment we do have meetings with the districts or ibalhin sa mga barangay health centers. We have 182 barangay health centers, ginaplanuhan pa sa atoang transition team. We are hoping that the transition team of the vaccination cluster will come up with the decision within this week,” Schlosser said in an interview with Davao City Disaster Radio (DCDR) on Wednesday.
This is in line with the instruction of Vice President-elect Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio on Monday to the Davao City Covid-19 Task Force to wrap up all vaccination hubs in Davao City and continue the vaccination for Covid-19 and make the availability of the vaccines semi-permanent at the district health centers.
Schlosser added that the main goal of setting up vaccination hubs in barangay health centers or district health centers is for the vaccines to be accessible to the people.
“Nagmiting nami ug naghinay-hinay nami ug turover sa vaccination hubs gamay na lang man gud nagaadto para magpabakuna. I-turnover na namo siya sa district health centers ug ang among vaccination team ma-assign na pud sa mga district health offices para didto na sa districts ang vacciantion plus kana na pud na among team sila ang musuyod sa mga barangay for the mobile vaccination. Mas near na sa mga tao ang atong vaccination ug ang atong objective dinha is suyuron ang mga barangay,” said Dr.Josephine Villafuerte, head of Vaccination Cluster, in an interview with DCDR.
Villafuerte reminded that Dabawenyos can still get vaccinated at the current operational vaccination sites in Davao City are Abreeza Mall, NCCC Mall Buhangin, Gaisano Grand Toril, SM City Ecoland, Calinan Central Elementary School, People’s Park, and Crocodile Park, SM Lanang, Gmall Bajada, Gmall Toril, and Gaisano Grand Citygate.
