Senator Leila de Lima has urged the government to review its vaccination program and scrap the policy requiring private companies to enter into tripartite agreements with the national government and the vaccine manufacturers to speed up the vaccine rollout in the country.
The detained senator said it is high time for the government to step up its vaccination campaign and work with the private sector to win the fight against Covid-19.
“Since the Duterte regime has proven its incompetence in its failure to secure timely vaccines for Filipinos, there is an urgent need to revisit the vaccination campaign, change the tripartite agreements that cause a bottleneck, and allow the private sector to directly import vaccines without the Duterte-brand red tape,” she said in a dispatch from Camp Crame.
“We need to step up our vaccination campaign and we need to work with our private sector. Only then can we even hope for anything close to acceptable accomplishment in our fight against Covid-19. Bawat araw ng kapalpakan, may buhay na nasasayang,” she added.
“Buhay ang nakasalalay sa mabilisang pagpapabakuna, at kung ang gobyerno mismo ang nagpapabagal dito, anong silbi pa ng pakikialam nila?” De Lima said.
“Kinailangan ba ng tripartite agreement sa pagbibigay ng Emergency Use Authorization para sa RT-PCR kits, antigen kits?” she said.
