AROUND 700 pre-registered senior citizens, persons with disabilities (PWDs), and members of tribal communities will get their anti-Covid vaccine shots in the mobile vaccination rollout on August 25 in Barangay Manuel Guianga, Tugbok District.

Spearheaded by Councilor Myrna Dalodo-Ortiz, the mobile vaccination in Barangay Guinga is part of the City Council-led vaccination activities in response to Mayor Inday Sara Duterte-Carpio's call to accelerate the inoculation of the Dabawenyos.

The Council-led mobile vaccination started earlier this month through City Council Health Committee Chairperson Dr. Mary Joselle Villafuerte in Barangay Sirib, Calinan District, and Barangay Los Amigos in Tugbok District where a total of 783 residents received their vaccines.

At least 76 senior citizens in seven geriatric home facilities were also recently catered to from August 4 to August 6 by Davao City’s mobile vaccination team in partnership with the Office of Vice Mayor Sebastian "Baste" Duterte.

To recall, Duterte-Carpio has sought the council members to set up their vaccination teams, and each was assigned in their areas of responsibility as the City aims to inoculate 1.2 Dabawenyos and reach herd immunity by November this year.

The mobile vaccination, while it is conducted outside the public vaccination sites, still follows the prioritization system from A1 to A5. (PR)
