Senator Bong Go on Saturday expressed optimism that there is “light at the end of the tunnel” as the government hopes to vaccinate at least 50 million people by September and reach the 70 million target for herd immunity by the end of 2021.
“Bilisan natin ang ating vaccine rollout at ni isang dose ay hindi dapat masayang dahil talagang agawan ang supply ng bakuna. Paigtingin at pabilisin natin lalo ang pagbabakuna para ma-attain natin ‘yung herd immunity sa community bago matapos ang taon,” said Go.
In a radio interview given on Saturday, he stressed the importance of maintaining discipline and continuing to follow the health and safety protocols in order to contain the pandemic while government proceeds with its vaccination campaign.
“Nakikita ko sa ibang bansa, gaya ng Israel at New Zealand, ay unti-unti nagiging zero cases na sila. Sa Israel, 81 percent na ang nababakunahan at nagtatanggal na sila ng mask. Ibig sabihin there is hope, there is light at the end of the tunnel,” said Go.
“Pero kung hindi tayo madidisiplina, maaaring tataas muli ang kaso. Look at what happened in India. Kahit nagbabakuna sila at manufacturer pa sila ng mga bakuna… tumaas pa rin ang kaso nila. Ibig sabihin, kailangan habang hindi pa natin na-attain ang herd immunity, ay huwag tayo magkumpyansa,” he said.
The chair of the Senate committee on health said the government should exert all efforts possible to implement a detailed rollout plan to ensure the safe, efficient and orderly distribution and administration of the vaccines.
“Dapat kahit saang sulok ng Pilipinas ay makakatanggap ng bakuna. Huwag po kayo mag-alala dahil parating na rin ang dagdag na doses. Sisiguraduhin nating walang maiiwan tungo sa ating muling pagbangon,” he said.
