POE ON PRIVATE SECTOR PURCHASE OF COVID-19 VACCINES:

The faster we inoculate, the quicker we can rev up the economy from the slump.

Every dose the private sector purchases means a dose saved by the government, which must be channeled to the priority sectors.

With their resources and manpower, companies can augment vaccine supply and scale up the administration of doses to benefit our people.

Our country needs synchronized efforts between the government and the private sector to allow our vaccination program to gather pace and guarantee sufficient levels of immunization for the Filipinos.

Speed and trust are going to be keys to an effective vaccination program.
