Senator Francis Tolentino said on Sunday that COVID-19 vaccine wastage in the country could possibly be due to mistakes in the prioritization of COVID-19 vaccine recipients and the distribution of vaccines.
Speaking on Super Radyo dzBB, Senate Blue Ribbon Committee Chairperson Tolentino said that there might have been something wrong with the strategy for the vaccine allocation, with healthcare workers prioritized as A1, senior citizens A2, and people with comorbidities prioritized as A3.
“Opo ‘yung mga A1, A2, A3 baka may mali doon sa prioritization at mali ‘yung distribution. Baka mayroon pong mga lugar na hindi dapat ganon karami o baka mayroon pong mga ibang lugar na hindi naman dapat kaagad nabagsakan kasi regional po yung mga hubs natin noon eh,” he said. At a Senate Blue Ribbon hearing on Thursday, Department of Health officer-in-charge Maria Rosario VergeireTolentino said that the number of wasted vaccines might still increase in the coming months, given the hesitancy over getting jabs.
“Pero nung earlier stages po ng COVID vaccine, napakataas nung interes. Baka mali ‘yung proseso, baka mali ‘yung distribution, baka mali ‘yung information campaign,” he said. (But during the earlier stages of the COVID vaccine distribution, the interest was very high. Maybe the process was wrong, maybe the distribution was wrong, maybe the information campaign was wrong.
