Duterte wants mobile COVID-19 vaccines for poor, Palace clarifies

President Duterte wants government vaccinators to bring COVID-19 vaccines directly to poor communities, but Malacañang clarified Tuesday that this directive is already part of the national vaccine deployment plan.

Harry Roque said health workers will still be prioritized in the vaccine rollout despite Duterte's order for mobile vaccination teams.

Health Secretary Francisco Duque III expressed concerns about the logistical challenges and manpower needed to implement mobile vaccinations.
