Go urges LGUs to bring vaccines directly to constituents

Senator Bong Go on Sunday appealed to local government units and authorities in charge of the vaccine rollout to bring vaccines directly to constituents who are part of the priority groups to be inoculated.

“Sa mga LGUs, paigtingin pa natin ang pagbabakuna. Dapat ‘di magtagal ang stocks sa inyo. Marami nang gustong magpabakuna pero naghihintay,” the chair of the Senate health committee said.

“Nagagalit na ang iba. Pabilisin natin ang sistema para pag-distribute ng bakuna, maiturok na agad sa dapat maturukan,” he added.

Go stressed that time is of the essence and all necessary steps must be taken to ensure that those in the A1-A3 categories are vaccinated immediately so that the rollout can proceed to other priority sectors in line with the goal of reaching herd immunity in communities.

“Dagdagan po natin ang ating vaccination sites para kahit saang sulok ng komunidad ay makaabot ang bakuna. Kung kailangang puntahan mismo sa mga bahay ang mga matatanda at mga may comorbidities ay gawin na dapat agad,” he urged.

“Huwag tayo magkumpyansa sa kung ano na ang ginagawa ngayon. Paigtingin pa natin lalo upang mas mabilis nating marating ang herd immunity sa ating community at tuluyang matigil na ang sakit na Covid-19,” he added.

Go then called on local leaders, in coordination with the national government, to strengthen their local vaccination rollout and vaccine education awareness campaigns to further encourage their constituents to get inoculated.

“Huwag natin sayangin ang oportunidad na makapagligtas ng buhay gamit ang bakunang nasa atin. Bawat oras na masayang ay buhay ang kapalit. Kaya ni isang bakuna ay hindi dapat masayang,” he stressed.
