Poe slams gov't failure to secure Pfizer vaccines by January

Senator Grace Poe criticized the government for failing to secure 10 million doses of Pfizer vaccines by January.

Poe said this missed opportunity is tragic and almost criminal, highlighting the DOH's indecisiveness.

Philippine Ambassador Jose Romualdez confirmed that the delay in signing a Confidentiality Disclosure Agreement caused the loss of securing early vaccine delivery.

President Duterte saw no major lapse in negotiations with Pfizer, while Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque echoed this stance.

Senator Francis Pangilinan warned Health Secretary Francisco Duque III may face graft charges if found remiss in processing the deal for Pfizer vaccines.
