MALACAÑANG ASSURES COVID-19 VACCINE ACCESS FOR INFORMAL SETTLERS By Azer Parrocha
Malacañang on Tuesday said informal settlers will have easy access to coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) inoculation as vaccination centers would be set up near populated areas. This, after President Rodrigo Duterte said he wanted “mobile” vaccination for informal settlers who would have difficulty traveling to Caraga INFOCUS
hospitals to get Covid-19 jabs. Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said Health Secretary Francisco Duque on Monday night assured the President that informal settlers won’t have trouble accessing vaccination sites. “As explained to him by Secretary Duque, meron pong mga iba’t-ibang
mga vaccination centers na itatayo ang mga lokal na pamahalaan. At itong mga vaccination centers naman, hindi malalayo sa mga lugar o mga tahanan na tinitirhan ng mga informal settlers (there are different vaccination centers put up by local governments. And these vaccination centers won’t be far from the homes of informal settlers),” he said. March 13-19, 2021 |
