LGUs with record of vaccine spoilage or wastage will be issued a show cause order by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) so that local chief executives could explain their side.

An additional 1,078,740 doses of Pfizer coronavirus disease vaccine were delivered to the country on Wednesday night, Dec. 1.

Out of the 40 million Pfizer shots purchased by the government this year, a total of 22,611,420 doses have been delivered so far. Another 20 million Pfizer doses were bought by the government for 2022. “We’re now mapping very well. What we found out is that we need to map out the distribution of the vaccines because some areas need more, some areas need less. It’s very important [to know] what [vaccines] they have and what is the throughput of these areas,” Herbosa said.

“We received the donations [in] late October, I think AstraZeneca, but we consumed most of them. There are a few hundred doses that expired as of November 30 which was yesterday [Tuesday]. That’s the one that we are going to look into, the LGUs that weren’t able to inject that,” Herbosa revealed.

Ang dami kasi gusto magpabakuna pero ang DOH napakadaming requirements at priority list. Hindi na dapat magtaka pa bakit may spoilage.

TL: “Hihingan ng paliwanag ng DILG ang mga lider ng mga LGU na napanisan o nasayangan ng mga bakuna.”

Give those jobs to the OVP if you can't handle them well
