Health, wellness and beauty retailer Watsons is actively supporting the Department of Health (DoH) in its efforts to combat the rising cases of Pertussis, also known as whooping cough.

As the disease spreads in specific regions across the Philippines, Watsons is now offering Pertussis vaccines to walk-in customers at selected stores from April 13 to 14. Vaccines are offered on a first-come-first-served basis, and stocks are limited only. This initiative aims to curb the spread of the disease.

Watsons is now offering Pertussis vaccines for P2, 469 to walk-in customers at selected stores from April 13 to 14.

"We are taking a proactive stance in supporting our local government's efforts to combat the rising cases of Pertussis and curb its spread through our vaccination initiative. Vaccines will be available for walk-ins in select Watsons stores, ensuring accessibility and convenience for our customers," said Jared De Guzman, Watsons Philippines Customer director.

Watsons can administer vaccines to individuals aged 18 years old and above. However, senior citizens, persons with disabilities (PWD), and pregnant women are advised to obtain a doctor's approval before vaccination. For individuals aged 17 years old and below, vaccines cannot be administered in-store. Watsons recommends consulting a pediatrician for proper assessment.

Watsons stores also provide a range of essential vaccinations, all at competitive prices, including flu (P850), pneumonia (Prevnar 23 at P2,370 and Prevnar 13 at P3,860), and Human Papillomavirus 4 (P3,750), and Shingles (P8,300).

With a steadfast commitment to accessible healthcare solutions, Watsons ensures that vital vaccinations are affordable and available, promoting the well-being of communities across the nation.
