Private firms allowed to charge employees for relatives’ Covid-19 vaccines: Palace

By Prince Golez

Private companies that bought Covid-19 vaccines for their employees could seek reimbursement for the vaccines of their dependents, Malacañang said Tuesday.

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque, however, said the vaccines should only be distributed and given to intended beneficiaries.

“Ang polisiya ng gobyerno, unang-una, basta inorder po yan para doon sa mga taong nag order at hindi makakarating sa ibang mga tao, hindi ibebenta sa ibang tao. Pangalawa reimbursement for cost po yan at walang profit, yan po ay pinapayagan ng ating gobyerno,” Roque said during a virtual presser held in Clark, Pampanga.

Private firms, he added, could only procure vaccines through a tripartite agreement with the government.

“Ang pag-aangkat ng mga bakuna ay sa pamamagitan pa rin po nung tripartite agreement sa panig ng DOH, ng NTF, at ng pribadong sektor,” according to the secretary.

“So, malinaw ‘yan. Hindi issue yung cost sharing na sinisingil ng ilang mga kumpanya provided inorder talaga ‘yan at hindi makakarating sa ibang tao,” he reiterated.
