During her program over Davao City Disaster Radio (DCDR 87.5) Monday, Duterte encouraged senior citizens, who comprise the category A2 in the priority list of the national government’s vaccination program, to coordinate with their barangays and district health offices to know how they can access the COVID-19 vaccines.
Although the inoculation program is not mandatory, Duterte urged the seniors to get vaccinated to be protected from the deadly infection. “Our vaccination is voluntary but, of course, we are highly encouraging you to decide to get the vaccines because this will help us attain our target of herd immunity, which the public health experts say, can help control COVID-19 in our country,” she said.
