The “Resbakuna sa Botika” was approved by the Department of Health (DoH) as one of the anti-Covid vaccination jab sites in Davao City.
Villafuerte said the vaccination is free.
Villafuerte said that Watsons pharmacy has qualified after they were able to comply the standards set by DoH to roll out the vaccination drive of the government.
Watsons is the only DoH-approved pharmacy to administer the anti-Covid vaccine, Villafuerte said.
“We conducted the inspection and we also assisted them. In Davao City there is only one, this is Watsons, SM Ecoland,” Villafuerte said.
Villafuerte clarified that Watsons will cater only to eligible A1-A5 and pediatric (12 to 17 years old) groups, adding it cannot yet administer pediatric vaccination for 5 to 11 years old.
She said Watsons will run the site, while the city provides the logistics and supply of vaccines.
Villafuerte said that more pharmacies are still applying at DOH as Resbakuna sa Botika site.
The plan to open up pharmacies as areas for vaccination has been in the pipeline of the DOH in order to boost the vaccination drive in the city.
