Bayanihan Bakunahan III on Feb 10-11

DAVAO CITY, Feb 8 (PIA) - The Bayanihan Bakunahan or National Vaccination Day III is set to be conducted on February 10-11, 2022. In the Regional Vaccination Operation Center (RVOC) Davao Region meeting today, all implementing offices are informed and are now preparing for the Bayanihan Bakunahan III kick off.

The NVD III targets to vaccinate all population (12 years old and above) especially for the primary series doses and booster doses for the 18 years old and above.

Priority population for the NVD are the A2, A5 population (primary and booster doses); and booster doses especially in workplaces and ecozones.

In the DOH XI data, the government is yet to reach out and vaccinate 91,889 senior citizens in Davao Region for the first dose. Davao City has exceeded its target and covered 124% or 116,927.

However, other provinces in the region still fall short in their target of vaccinating this priority age group. Davao de Oro is still looking for 7,974 senior citizens; Davao del Norte has to vaccinate 35,397 individuals; Davao del Sur needs to vaccinate 35, 569; Davao Oriental to vaccinate 26,447; and Davao Occidental with 9,419 senior citizens.

Meanwhile, the Davao Region has already vaccinated 65.6% or 244,636 senior citizens for the first dose and the Janssen vaccine brand.

The government strategizes to administer Janssen vaccines to the senior citizens as it would only need one dose unlike the other brands which require for two doses. (PIA XI/FGM)
