Lack of storage facilities hounding vaccination drive – DOH
The Department of Health (DOH) is facing challenges in vaccine distribution and supply, impacting immunization efforts.
Health Secretary Teodoro Herbosa stated that some health centers lack the necessary cold chain facilities to store vaccines, leading to delivery only when needed.
This issue is cited as a factor contributing to the high number of unvaccinated children.
Herbosa also warned of a potential shortage in pertussis vaccines by May.
However, six million doses of pentavalent vaccines are scheduled to arrive in July to address supply concerns.
