LGUs asked to streamline jab procedures, avoid overcrowding
HOUSE Assistant Majority Leader and ACT-CIS party-list Rep. Niña Taduran has called on local government units (LGU) to streamline their vaccination procedures to avoid overcrowding as people take chances at vaccination sites in the absence of an appointment.
Taduran expressed concern on the news that people troop to vaccination sites, forget health protocols particularly social distancing and some spend hours lining up for nothing.
“Ang mga LGUs ang lumilikha ng super spreaders dahil hindi maayos ang kanilang vaccination procedure. Nakita na nilang nagkukumpulan ang napakaraming taong nagwo-walk in sa vaccination sites, wala pa ring ginagawa. Maiiwasan ang kumpulan kung maayos ang proseso ng pagbabakuna,” Taduran said.
“Kung walang schedule ang pumila, bakit hindi nila bigyan ng form at bilangin na ang kakayanin ng bakunang nakahanda sa isang lugar para mapauwi na agad ang mga hindi mababakunahan?” Taduran added.
The solon also questioned the arrest by San Juan Police of 6 individuals who showed up at a vaccination site in Greenhills after receiving a text message that they were scheduled to be vaccinated at the site, which later turned out to be a hoax message.
“Sila na ang nabiktima, sila pa ang hinuli? Marami sa mga kababayan natin ang matagal nang naghihintay ng tawag para sila ay mabakunahan. Ang anim na ito ay nagmadaling pumunta sa vaccination site sa pag-aakalang nakakuha na sila ng schedule. Kung peke ang text, hindi nila kasalanan ‘yun,” said Taduran.
Taduran said he believes that the key to a successful vaccination procedure is the proper planning on the allocation of vaccines along with the organized process in the vaccination sites.
