For ACT-CIS Party-List Rep. Niña Taduran, the Department of Health (DOH) earned brownie points for opting to postpone the bidding for pneumococcal conjugal vaccines or PCVs, which was initially participated in by just one bidder.

Taduran, a former journalist, reckoned that an open competitive bidding procedure will give better options for the government in procuring the said vaccines.

PCVs are designed as a protection against several types of pneumococcal bacteria which cause infection. The vaccine also stops the infection from spreading to other people.“It is also vital to study the technical aspects of the procurement before proceeding with the purchase,” Taduran noted. The lone bidder’s vaccine protects against 13 types of pneumococcal bacteria. The other company’s vaccine protects against 10.
