By Pearl Gumapos

The government’s “Resbakuna sa mga Botika” program will start on Thursday, Jan. 20, National Task Force (NTF) against COVID-19 Deputy Chief implementer Sec. Vince Dizon said on Wednesday, Jan. 19.

“Bukas po, Jan. 20 at 21, magsisimula na ang ating Resbakuna sa mga Botika at sa mga iba’t-ibang clinics simula dito sa NCR,” Dizon said during the Laging Handa public briefing.

The pharmacies included in the program are:

  • Generika Drugstore
  • Healthway
  • Mercury Drug
  • QualiMed Health Network
  • Southstar Drug
  • The Generics Pharmacy
  • Watsons

“Ang layunin nito ay talaga malapit pa natin ang ating pagbabakuna sa ating mga kababayan para mas mapabilis pa natin at mas madami tayong mabakunahan,” Dizon said.

The program is free and open to all residents of the Philippines.

“Libre po ito. Walang bayad kagaya ng bakunahan natin sa mga LGU natin kaya walang problema ang ating mga kababayan natin dito,” Dizon said.

Walk-ins are allowed provided they are 18 years old and above and that they register online.

“Kaya tayo nagpa-pilot para ma-access natin iyong capacity at kapabilidad ng mga pharmacies para gawin itong [bakunahan]. Itong pilot na ito, i-a-access natin after one week. Pagkatapos ay titignan natin kung saan puwedeng i-expand sa iba’t-ibang mga ciudad sa buong bansa,” Dizon said. – bny
