Philippine Medical Association (PMA) President Benito Atienza said Friday, May 20, that the public can soon have their COVID-19 booster doses in multi-specialty and hospital clinics listed in their records.
Dr. Atienza said they are planning to conduct an orientation on May 26 for clinic secretaries and coordinators with the help of the Department of Health (DOH) regarding vaccination reporting and storage.
“Puwede nang magbigay ang mga clinic ng booster dose kaya nga lang dapat magpalista ang clinic. Ang inano po natin ay iyong multi-specialty clinic at saka mga clinic sa ospital para sa coordination namin,” Atienza said.
“Dapat ay magkakaroon kami sa May 26, in coordination with DOH iyong orientation ng mga secretary at saka coordinator,” he added.
Atienza shared that they also plan to conduct massive vaccination for children aged zero to five years old in Metro Manila, especially those who missed their vaccines during the pandemic.
“[Catch up immunization] iyong mga bakuna na hindi naibigay sa kanila noon ay ibibigay sa mga health centers at tutulong diyan ang Philippine Medical Association at mag-start ito ng May 30 to June 10,” he said.
Meanwhile, the turnover and the new set of new officers of the PMA will be introduced on May 31, 2022. – ag
