Senator Panfilo Lacson raises doubts on the need to set aside ₱45 billion for COVID-19 booster shots next year, saying current figures suggest the country may not even be able to inoculate all adult Filipinos anytime soon.

— Senator Panfilo Lacson raised doubts on the need to set aside ₱45 billion for COVID-19 vaccine booster shots next year, saying it may not even be utilized.

The ₱45 billion has only been earmarked by the Department of Budget and Management under unprogrammed appropriations, the availability of which depends on revenue collection exceeding targets and on additional grants or foreign funds. “Realizable ba ito? Magagamit ba natin ‘yung ₱45.37 billion for booster shots? Baka naman pwedeng magamit pa natin ‘yung ₱45.37 billion in the next year’s budget sa ibang purpose,” the senator said.
