SunStar + March 09, 2021 THE use of gloves and personal protective equipment (PPEs) by vaccinators during the Covid-19 vaccination procedure is impractical and costly, Acting City Health Officer Dr. Lorraine Nery said on Tuesday, March 9. This, after several people who witnessed the vaccination procedure through photos and videos expressed concern after seeing the vaccinators giving the first dose of the Sinovac vaccines to the healthcare workers without using PPEs or gloves. According to Nery, there was no advice from the Department of Health (DOH) that wearing of gloves or PPEs during the vaccination process is necessary. "Kung mag gloves ka, every person nga i-vaccinate nimo, mag change ka og gloves. So it's not so practical kay dili man pwede nga naka gloves lagi ka pero ang imong gi-vaccinate mao ra man gihapon," Nery said.
