Villanueva likewise said local health officials should be trusted to make the “snap adjustments” for as long as these comply with the vaccination priority list that gives no room for “line jumpers.”

Dr. Mary Jean Loreche, the DOH regional spokesperson, said the unused vaccines can be redistributed to other subgroups on the priority list, such as senior citizens and other frontliners in the region.
