NCR, other COVID 'hotspots' to get vaccine priority — Duterte

No Filipino will be left out in the government’s vaccination program against the coronavirus disease, President Duterte assured the nation Tuesday as the country’s cases of infections fueled by the Delta variant continued to soar.The government however will give priority vaccine access to the “hotspots” or areas with high coronavirus transmission given the country’s limited supply at present, according to the President.

“It’s just a matter of priority ka dito sa iyong mga hotspots kagaya ng mga Maynila and the environs. Nandito lahat ‘yung ano eh — iyong tao so ‘yung transmission mas mabilis. Pero kung sabihin mo na mabigyan sila, mabigyan sila. We commit ,” he added. “Ang problema talaga ng Pilipinas ay wala tayong supply na maganda kasi kung mayroon, maibigay na natin sa lahat . If we have numbers in sufficient vaccines, hindi na sila maghintay. Ibigay na natin kaagad ,” he said.

In his “Talk to the People” Monday, Duterte admitted that he talked to some local executives and reassured them the government was not neglecting them. He said the government has the funds for vaccine purchase and will distribute them to “all local government units” once available.
