Health workers urge public to follow vaccine priority list

Healthcare professionals urge the public to follow the government's prioritization list for COVID-19 vaccine distribution.

The priority groups include frontline healthcare workers, senior citizens, and individuals with comorbidities.

Dr. Antonio Dans of HPHAAAC warns that those who can afford vaccines may get them first, leaving others behind.

Malacañang announced that the vaccination of health workers will start on February 15 with an initial batch of 117,000 Pfizer-BioNTech doses.

The first hospitals to receive vaccines include the Philippine General Hospital and other major medical centers.

More frontliners, including non-professional staff like janitors and village health workers, will be prioritized for vaccination.
