Malacañang said Filipinos will not be allowed to choose the specific brand of COVID-19 vaccine they want as part of government’s free coronavirus vaccination drive. Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque said people has the right to good health but cannot be ‘picky’ in as far as the free vaccine given that many Filipinos also needed the medicine.
“Tama lang naman po yan. Walang pilian kasi hindi naman natin makokontrol talaga kung ano ang darating at libre po ito. Pero ganun po yan there is such a thing as waiver of a right. Totoo po, meron tayong lahat karapatan para sa mabuting kalusugan pero hindi pupuwede na pihikan dahil napakadaming Pilipino na dapat turukan” said Roque.
“Wala pong pilian, wala kasing pilitan. Pero magsa-sign ka ng waiver na hindi ka nagpaturok at kapag ikaw ay may prayoridad, siyempre mawawala ang prayoridad mo, sasama ka sa the rest ng taumbayan na naghihintay ng bakuna,” added Roque.
