Those belonging in class A, B and C can pay for their own coronavirus (Covid-19) vaccine, according to President Rodrigo Duterte.
Duterte said the country’s poorest citizens will receive free vaccines.
“As I have promised, ang gastos ng gobyerno itong bakuna para sa lahat ng Pilipino. Kaya nga uumpisahan natin sa mga mahihirap, pataas na ano. Let’s start with the A,B,C,D,E. The lowest sa E, iyong talagang mahirap na wala then paakyat tayo dahan-dahan sa D,” the Chief Executive said in his weekly address Tuesday.
“Iyong C… Hindi na tayo maggastos diyan kasi may mga pera na iyan. A, B crowd, iyan iyong mga milyonaryo, mga multimillionaire. Iyong nasa C, there are in a bracket which we think are pretty good for them to buy the medicines for themselves,” he added.
Earlier, vaccine czar Carlito Galvez Jr., who is also the chief implementer of the National Task Force Against Covid-19, said a vaccine could be available between May through July of next year.
