Lacson urges DOH: Launch aggressive COVID-19 vaccine info drive
Senator Panfilo Lacson urged the Department of Health (DOH) to intensify its information campaign to boost public trust in vaccines while waiting for ordered supplies to arrive.
Lacson warned that a significant portion of the population's low trust in vaccination could lead to wasted vaccines once they become available in the country.
He advised the DOH to prioritize improving public confidence in vaccines over merely announcing delivery dates.
The Senator emphasized that focusing on prevention and cure is equally crucial as monitoring infection and death rates.
