The senators come into the fray

-

THE HONORABLE senators of the Republic have taken action on the rollout or distributi­on of vaccines.

It may have come to their knowledge that there exists an inequality in the distributi­on of the vaccine and that there are LGUs which are left, wittingly or unwittingl­y.

Senate President Vicente Sotto III expressed apprehensi­on over the authority of the IATF and the DOH by saying: It is the people

on the ground such as mayors who can appreciate the situation better. So it is important that they be given flexibilit­y and more autonomy in the implementa­tion of the vaccine program.

He added that consultant­s to the IATF are too theoretica­l when they do not know what is happening on the ground.

Senator Lacson chimed in by saying that giving implemente­rs more flexibilit­y will be crucial to the success of the government's efforts to accelerate its COVID 19 vaccinatio­n dr i ve.

So, there goes the Senate's timely interventi­on on the current vaccine rollout. Those in the IATF should take note seriously the honorable Senators' observatio­ns and follow them faithfully.
