In a televised public briefing, Health Undersecretary Myrna Cabotaje said 1,000 vaccination sites were reporting daily. At an average of 100 people daily, there should be 100,000 people getting shots every day, she said.
“Itong ating problema sa Pilipinas, kulang ang bakuna. Nagbibili tayo kung saan-saan at dumadating lang ngayon pakaunti-kaunti. Were it not for, well the donation of China, wala tayo, zero,” he said in a televised address.
In a virtual presser, Palace spokesman Harry Roque said the president had yet to decide because the country’s Covid-19 vaccine stock remained low.
President Rodrigo Duterte said he wanted the vaccination of health workers expedited so individuals listed under lower vaccine priority brackets could start receiving anti-Covid-19 shots.
