The Resbakuna sa Botika program was first rolled out in selected clinics and pharmacies in Metro Manila in January. The program was later on expanded to other areas nationwide as part of the national government’s efforts to further strengthen the national vaccination program.
Initially, the Department of Health (DOH) and local government units provided immunizers to conduct the booster vaccination in Watsons. With the help of DOH, more than 36 Watsons pharmacists have undergone training and are now certified COVID-19 Immunizing Pharmacists. Watsons has administered over 17,000 boosters for COVID-19 since Resbakuna started in January.
