Fifty-nine vaccination sites here will hasten the Covid-19 vaccination program that has administered 403,445 doses as of July 15.
Of the total inoculation hubs, 21 are managed by the City Health Office (CHO), nine by hospitals, and 29 by different sectors.
The total doses administered included 112,499 second doses.
In a radio interview on Friday, Davao City Covid-19 Task Force spokesperson Dr. Michelle Schlosser said the vaccination sites are focused on the A4 priority group (economic front-liners).
“Since other sites perform vaccination even during weekends, essential workers can now grab the opportunity to be inoculated without disrupting their weekday work,” she said.
The Davao City Vaccination Cluster data showed 61,137 of A4 recipients were vaccinated with the first dose while 299 have received the second dose.
Schlosser also bared that since the city government started the vaccination rollout, only very mild adverse effects were reported.
“We have not logged any adverse events that were rare or fatal. For those who are scared, there was no such a report or if ever there is an adverse event following vaccination, don’t fear because we have a standby doctor and hospitals,” she said.
Aside from feeling pain in the vaccinated area, body pains, or weariness, no serious adverse event reports have reached health officials here.
“Most of the mild adverse events usually ease within 24 hours,” Schlosser said.
