DILG urging LGUs to provide proper info on importance of COVID-19 vaccines
An official from the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) urged local government units (LGUs) to intensify their information campaigns about the COVID-19 vaccination program.
Undersecretary Epimaco Densing III emphasized the need to combat misinformation and fake news that could erode public confidence in the vaccines.
He stressed the importance of verifying and explaining information to the public to build trust.
However, Densing clarified that individuals who do not wish to be vaccinated will not be forced, adhering to Department of Health (DOH) guidelines.
He added that those who refuse a specific vaccine brand may be placed at the end of the queue if they change their mind later.
