She said the data of the City Health Office (CHO) and the Department of Health (DOH) shows that we have no recorded deaths in the pediatric vaccination whether for five to 11 or 12 to 17 years old.
Schlosser, however, said there were only minor adverse events just like in any routine vaccine they have recorded.
“We have zero death,” she said.
The city recently opened its special vaccination sites for the five to 11 years old vaccinees including the Almendras Gym, the Vicente Hizon Elementary School, and the San Roque Elementary School.
Schlosser said district vaccination hubs were also put up at SM City Davao along Quimpo Boulevard, Gaisano Mall Toril, the F. Dizon Elementary School, and the Holy Cross College of Calinan.
While the pediatric rollout for the youngest age group population in partner hospitals was already over, the city health official said the Southern Philippines Medical Center (SPMC) wanted to extend their rollout for five to 11 years old.
She said SPMC's initiative is a very welcome support to the city's COVID-19 pediatric vaccination program, wherein the city eyes to inoculate some 260,000 children in the five to 11 age bracket.
As of last week, at least 3,879 children aged five to 11 years old have received their first dose of the reformulated Pfizer vaccine.
