MANILA – Groups frowned at Presidential spokesperson’s comment saying that Filipinos cannot afford to be choosy when it comes to the brand of COVID-19 vaccine.
In a statement, ACT Teachers Rep. France Castro said, “When it comes to public health and public funds, it is right and just for the people to be ‘choosy’ to make sure that government will procure the most number of doses to be able to vaccinate more people using the vaccine that is most cost-efficient and effective.”
Since last year, President Rodrigo Duterte repeatedly proclaimed that the answer to the pandemic is “only vaccine” amid mounting criticisms to the government’s poor response only to “drop the ball” amid the negotiations.
