Solon wants extension of Bayanihan 2 fund availability for COVID vaccines
A Philippine House representative has proposed a bill to extend the availability of funds from the Bayanihan 2 law for the procurement of COVID-19 vaccines.
The bill, filed by PBA Party-list Rep. Jericho Nograles, aims to prolong the use of the Bayanihan 2 budget until December 2022.
Originally, certain provisions of Bayanihan 2, including those for vaccine procurement, were set to expire by December 19, 2020.
Nograles cited recent developments in vaccine trials and production as the reason for seeking the extension.
He noted that while the law was enacted anticipating commercial vaccine availability by the end of 2020, many potential vaccines are still undergoing clinical trials.
