Malacañang welcomes plan to deploy nurses in exchange for vax
MALACAÑANG ON Wednesday welcomed the proposal of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) to allow the deployment of thousands of healthcare workers, mostly nurses, in the United Kingdom and Germany in exchange for Covid-19 vaccines.
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said while the government has already ordered enough Covid-19 vaccine supply for its people, “more is better than less.”
However, he clarified that Duterte was not consulted about the plan to send healthcare workers if the two European nations agreed to donate Covid-19 vaccines.
He said the proposal was made by Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III and Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro “Teddyboy” Locsin Jr.
