MANILA — Inihayag ng Department of Health (DOH) ang isang plano na kumuha lamang ng limitadong bilang ng mga dosis ng bivalent Covid-19 vaccine.

Isinaad ni DOH officer-in-charge Maria Rosario Vergeire na maglalagay na lamang sila ng karagdagang mga order “habang tumaas ang interes.”

We have an agreement with the manufacturer and that it will be easy for us to reorder and have the deliveries at once,” sinabi ni Vergeire sa isang panayam sa “The Chiefs” sa One News ng Cignal TV noong Lunes ng gabi.

Tungkol sa plano ng pagkakaroon ng pre-registration bilang batayan para sa mga order ng bakuna, sinabi ng opisyal ng kalusugan,“That’s going to be very tedious. At the same time, it will just limit those who are interested to avail of the vaccine because there are those who might decide a day before the vaccination, or there are those who might walk in on the day of the vaccination itself and we will allow them.

In fact, we did a survey in different areas of the country wherein it showed that 90 to 92 percent of those who received the first and second boosters are very much willing to receive the bivalent vaccines,” wika ni Vergeire.

Sa mga nakatanggap ng primary series o sa unang dalawang dosis, sinabi ni Vergeire na 68 porsiyento ang interesadong mag-avail ng bivalent vaccines.

We have used that (survey) in estimating what we need and of course, it is going to be based on the priorities depending on the science that we have right now,” wika niya.

Idiniin ni Vergeire, “We will buy in small amounts to provide for the vulnerable population, and if we see that the demand is high, we will place an order for the second batch.

So, for us to be efficient in government and have this whole of society approach, those who wanted to place orders – like local government units, the private sector – by this time they would now know how much is the demand based on the data that they have,” wika niya sa isang press briefing kahapon.

Idinagdag ni Vergeire na ang paggawa muna ng master list at paghintay para makumpleto ang listahan ng mga nag-avail ng bivalent vaccines, ay mangangailangan ng labis na trabaho.

At the same time, it would violate the rights of those who still would want to avail of the bivalent vaccines, but just have decided later,” aniya.
