Should there be a law on mandatory COVID vaccination? Palace sounds off
Malacañang stated that a law mandating COVID-19 vaccination is not yet necessary.
Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque cited the high number of individuals willing to get vaccinated as the reason for this stance.
Roque clarified that President Rodrigo Duterte's remark about injecting hesitant individuals while sleeping was a joke.
The Palace prefers to prioritize vaccinating those who want the jab before considering mandatory vaccination laws.
