The new law, also known as “COVID-19 Vaccination Program Act of 2021,” included a provision on licensed pharmacists and midwives as “vaccinators.” These health professionals must be trained by the Department of Health (DOH) for the government’s COVID-19 immunization drive.
The government earlier disclosed plan to vaccinate up to 70 million people this year in a bid to reach herd immunity against the new coronavirus disease.
“Notwithstanding the provision of Section 4 (g) of Republic Act No. 10918, otherwise known as the ‘Philippine Pharmacy Act’, and Section 23 of Republic Act No. 7392 otherwise known as the ‘Philippine Midwifery Act of 1992’ and in furtherance of the COVID-19 Vaccination Program, licensed pharmacists and midwives who are duly trained by the DOH may administer COVID-19 vaccines,” the law read.

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.
Absolute, blanket immunity for vaccine makers not possible, says Drilon
