Garin says announcement on AstraZeneca jab suspension induced more fears on COVID-19 vaccines
Iloilo Representative Janette Garin criticized the government's method of announcing the suspension of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccinations for individuals under 60.
Garin, a former health secretary, questioned the rationale behind the announcement given the lack of available AstraZeneca vaccine doses.
She argued that announcing the suspension, especially when thousands have already received their first dose, instilled fear and exacerbated vaccine hesitancy.
Garin believes the announcement was improper and counterproductive to promoting vaccine uptake.
