Health Secretary Francisco Duque III on Tuesday said it would be a welcome development if Congress passed a measure that would make vaccination against COVID-19 mandatory. Duque made the call amid the dip in the number of Filipinos who get inoculated  against the coronavirus and the millions of vaccine doses which will expire in the next few months.

Health Secretary Francisco Duque III on Tuesday said it would be a welcome development if Congress passed a measure that would make vaccination against COVID-19 mandatory.

“Lahat po ay ginagawa na ng gobyerno Mr. President. Hindi ko na po maisip kung ano pa po pamamaraan ang hindi pa natin nagawa,” Duque said. “Sana naman po maintindihan nila na bumili tayo ng mga bakuna. Tama po kayo Mr. President para maproteksyonan ang publiko, ang atin pong mga kababayan. Eh hindi naman po natin ma-control kung ayaw ng tao ang magpabakuna. Hindi naman pwedeng sapilitan,” Duque pointed out.
