Palace: ‘Quick substitution’ list in vaccination made by hospitals, not LGUs
Malacañang confirmed the existence of a "quick substitution list" within the COVID-19 vaccination program to prevent vaccine wastage.
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque clarified that hospitals, not local government units (LGUs), are the ones creating this list.
The substitution list comprises individuals who can receive vaccines if scheduled healthcare workers are unable to or refuse vaccination.
The purpose of this list is to ensure that opened vaccine vials are used promptly and not wasted.
