The government should decentralize and liberalize vaccination efforts in light of the logistics problem that could result to wastage or expiration of vaccine doses in the country, Vice President Leni Robredo said on Sunday, October 24.
Speaking during her weekly radio show, Robredo emphasized the need to administer coronavirus shots for overseas Filipino workers apart from the country’s health workers and senior citizens.
“Mayroon siyang temperature na kailangan. May mga lugar na hindi puwedeng padalhan kasi wala iyong storage requirements. Ako lang, kung may extrang ganito, i-prioritize na natin ,” Robredo said.The Vice President made a suggestion that vaccination should be liberalized to expand coverage of the ongoing vaccination drive.
Some hospital administrators admitted to her that they have the hospital beds but lack the personnel to care for the patients.
