Senators: Vaccine rollout issue, not funds

Senators assert that the issue with the government's vaccination program lies in its implementation rather than a lack of funds.

Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III presented data showing an excess of PHP5 billion for vaccine procurement, with PHP57.3 billion secured through borrowings and only PHP52.3 billion needed at PHP446 per dose including logistical costs.

Senator Panfilo Lacson emphasized that the focus should be on procuring vaccines and rolling them out rather than funding issues.
