The step will promote community health and ensures the availability of preventative vaccination services. The programme will later also expand the offered services to include other kinds of vaccinations including the seasonal flu vaccine and various travel vaccines.
Pharmacies are required to apply through the TAMM platform before they can provide COVID-19 PCR tests and vaccines. Several pharmacies have already completed DoH courses in order to do so. Once the pharmacies receive authorization, they add it to their license based on the Department’s regulations and standards.
