Vega: Non-frontliners jumping COVID-19 vaccine queue

Health Undersecretary Leopoldo Vega admitted on Monday that some non-frontline workers have been jumping the COVID-19 vaccination line.

Vega said reports indicate a small number of individuals not prioritized in the vaccine rollout have managed to get vaccinated, though he did not provide specific details.

Despite this issue, Vega emphasized that authorities are instructing regional offices and vaccination sites to prioritize healthcare workers who face higher risks due to their frontline roles.
