Hontiveros made the statement after President Duterte hit some senators for questioning the government’s procurement of the China-made vaccines.It is the Palace itself, through its Spokesperson, in its prior statements, that definitely showed preference for a single Chinese vaccine, despite reports of its lower efficacy, and questionable pricing cost,” Hontiveros said.
The lawmaker further said the origin of the vaccine is not important as long as these are proven safe, effective and available. “Kahit anong brand pa ang ibigay sa atin, ang usapin dito ay ang paglalagay ng matibay na safety nets at maayos na accountability mechanism pagdating dito sa ating national vaccination plan ,” she further said.
And Hontiveros likes Pfizer.
