chair of the Senate committee on health, urged the government on Saturday to boost Filipinos’ confidence in the Covid-19 vaccine by communicating sufficiently and clearly its vaccine roadmap to the public.
“Mas paigtingin pa natin ang information dissemination campaign para hindi matakot ang mga Pilipino na magpaturok ng vaccine kapag napatunayang safe at effective na ito at aprubado na ng FDA,” he said.
“Habang sinisikap ng gobyerno na makakuha ng sapat, epektibo at, higit sa lahat, ligtas na bakuna, ipaintindi rin dapat sa tao ang mga hakbang na ginagawa dahil buong bansa ang makakabenepisyo rito upang malampasan ang krisis na dulot ng Covid-19,” he added.
Go stressed that an informed citizenry will also be empowered through the right information to contribute to the bayanihan efforts to overcome the pandemic.
“Kung informed ang taumbayan, mas mapapanatag ang loob nilang magpaturok kapag mayroon nang bakuna, at mas makakatulong sila sa bayanihan efforts upang labanan ang sakit,” he explained.
He emphasized that aside from ensuring availability, accessibility and affordability of vaccines for all Filipinos, it is also the responsibility of the government to update the public on the status of procurement — as well as plans on the eventual distribution and use — until expected full recovery through ‘herd immunity’ is achieved when the COVID-19 vaccine roadmap is properly implemented.
“Dapat maintindihan ng tao ang plano para malampasan ang krisis na ito,” he said.
“Tiwala ako na may hakbang na ginagawa na ang gobyerno sa pamumuno ni vaccine czar pero malaking bagay para magkakumpyansa ang tao ay maipaliwanag sa kanila para tumaas ang tiwala at mawala ang agam agam,” Go said.
