Malacañang expressed support for the Department of Health’s (DOH) plan to allow pharmacists and midwives as vaccinators for coronavirus (Covid-19) vaccines.
In a virtual presser, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque also suggested that nursing students and dental students be allowed to administer the vaccines.
“Dahil alam natin na 50 to 70 million ang target natin sa taong ito, talagang kinakailangan natin ng lalong pang mas maraming magbibigay ng bakuna,” Roque said Monday.
“Ang sariling pamangkin ko, dalawa po yan sa Amerika, sila po ngayon classified na rin as frontliners kasi ang isa nursing student, yun g isa dental student, so pati mga dental students kinokonsidera na rin as frontliner for purposes of vaccination. Sa Amerika po yan na dapat gawin din natin dito,” he added.
During a town hall meeting with the Philippine Nurses Association to advocate vaccination on Saturday, the DOH said that only doctors and nurses are allowed to administer the vaccine.
