“We were not consulted. We are not even aware of this kind of exchange between our government and the other governments for this matter,” said DOH Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire on Wednesday, Feb. 24.
Vergeire said the government’s task force for COVID-19 should be apprised of such plan or proposal.
“Dapat idulog sa IATF kung sakaling may mga ganitong plano or proposal na kailangan gawin because of vaccines (It should be referred to the IATF in case there are such plans or proposals that need to be made because of vaccines). So, the IATF should decide on this,” said Vergeire.
