LGUs to disclose COVID vaccine brand in inoculation sites – Palace

By Prince Golez

Covid-19 vaccine brands would be disclosed to recipients at inoculation centers, Malacañang clarified Friday.

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque made the statement after the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) directed local government units (LGUs) not to announce vaccine brands in advance to prevent long lines at vaccination clinics.

“Malinaw ang paliwanag ng DILG na bagaman hindi iaanunsyo ng LGU ang vaccine brand, sasabihin sa mababakunahan ang vaccine brand habang nasa vaccination center,” Roque said during a Laging Handa briefing.

“Hindi ililihim sa mababakunahan ang bakunang ibibigay sa kaniya. Karapatan ninyo po itong malaman at tanggihan ito,” he added.

The Palace official likewise reminded the public not to be “choosy” with vaccine brand, noting that all available Covid-19 doses have been carefully reviewed.

“Ang pinakamabisang bakuna ay ang bakunang ituturok sa inyo pong mga braso. Lahat ng mga bakuna ay dumaan sa masusing pag-aaral at standards, hindi lang po ng ating FDA, hindi lang po ng mga iba’t-ibang bansa na nag-issue rin ng EUA sa mga bakunang ito, kung hindi kasama na rin po ang World Health Organization,” he also said.
