Whether it’s one million as earlier reported or 113,000 as clarified by the Department of Health (DOH), Vice President Leni Robredo said the government should “fix the system” to ensure that everyone who got inoculated with the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine gets their second dose, too.

Speaking on her Sunday radio show with radioman Ely Saludar, Robredo said that if the government has to help the people get to the vaccination sites, then they should do it so everyone can get their second dose.
“Nakakatakot pa din, Ka Ely. Kahit sabihin pa natin 113,000 yan, ano pa din malaki pa din. And naghahabol tayo ng numbers, naghahabol tayo ng iyong supplies hindi mag-expire so dapat iyong sistema talaga para masiguro na babalik iyong mga tao siguruhin (It is still alarming, Ka Ely. Even if they say it’s only 113,000, it’s still a big number. And we are catching up to reach numbers, we are running after supplies, so they don’t expire so the system should make sure that the people will come back),” Robredo stressed.
