+ December 17, 2020 HEALTH Secretary Francisco Duque III denied on Thursday, December 17, allegations that the process for the procurement of coronavirus disease (Covid-19) vaccine from Pfizer was hampered due to his failure to act on it immediately.
“I have the chronology of events, so that this is all documented. There s no such thing that I did not act quick enough,” he said in a television interview.
“When you go through a process, you cannot just be hurrying up things just like that. You have to be prudent and cautious especially because you are talking about a novel vaccine,” he added.
