The measure seeks to speed up the procurement and administration of COVID-19 vaccines in the country and establish an indemnity fund.
During his personal visit and distribution of assistance to employees of Veterans Golf Club in Quezon City on Thursday, February 25, Go said that he expects the measure to be signed today.
Go explained that vaccine makers require the government to give immunity to them, thus the need for the government to indemnify those who suffer severe reactions to the vaccines.
The measure also aims to hasten the procurement of COVID-19 vaccines by allowing local government units to procure vaccines and make advance payments.
