(KEITH BACONGCO / MANILA BULLETIN)
On Wednesday, May 19, DOH Undersecretary Myrna Cabotaje announced that the DOH will implement a policy in which the local governments will not announce in advance the brand of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) doses they will roll out in vaccination sites.
Cabotaje said those who do not like the vaccines that are given during that time may “go to the end of the line.”
The new policy aims to avoid similar incidents to what the local governments of Manila and Parañaque dealt with early this week. Crowds flocked to inoculation sites in those cities where Pfizer-made vaccines are being offered.
