SINA DUQUE MUNA: Observe first, be vaccinated later — Chavit
And Singson, the incumbent mayor of Narvacan, Ilocos Sur, said it should be Health Secretary Francisco Duque, Vaccine Czar Carlito Galvez and the rest of the Cabinet secretaries who should be inoculated first in public to set an example that the vaccine that the government has procured for the Filipino people is indeed safe.
For Singson, it is the likes of Duque and the rest in the medical profession who should take the lead in order to remove the doubt among the people regarding the safety of the vaccines that are expected to be rolled out this month. The trust and confidence in the vaccination program for COVID further eroded when the government initially insisted on having a Chinese-made vaccine amid reports of its side effects.
