Quezon City 2nd District Rep. Precious Hipolito Castelo has urged the government to start preparing cold storage facilities for storing and safekeeping of COVID-19 vaccines in anticipation of their arrival and mass distribution to the Filipino people.

The House Assistant Majority Leader filed House Bill No. 8000 or the proposed “Vaccine-Ready Philippines Act of 2020” urging the government to amply prepare cold storage facilities for the vaccines.

She said the Food and Drug Administration had noted that there is a specific temperature that should be maintained in order for a vaccine not to lose its efficacy. “It is thus the intent of this bill to provide sufficient and appropriate cold storage equipment for storage and safekeeping of the much-anticipated COVID-19 vaccines prior to their arrival in the country. Considering that the Philippines is also a relatively populous nation, a safe and effective mass distribution of the vaccines require ample planning and preparation.”
