Robredo urges LGUs to conduct house-to-house vaccine registration

Vice President Leni Robredo on Sunday suggested to local government units to conduct house-to-house registrations for their COVID-19 vaccination program.

In her weekly radio show, Robredo said LGUs’ registration procedure for their vaccination rollout should not just be online, but a hybrid, as not all Filipinos have access to the internet.

“Napansin ko, hindi siguro sa lahat ng LGU, pero maraming LGU na online ang pag-register. Ang problema sa online registration, marami tayong mga kababayan na hindi kaya ‘yon,” the Vice President said.

(I noticed that many LGUs, if not all, use online registration. The problem with online registration is that not everyone has access to the internet.)

She said house-to-house registration is important amid the public’s low confidence in vaccines.

Over 1.2 million doses of vaccines against COVID-19 have been administered as of April 13, government data showed.

In their latest vaccine statistics bulletin, the Department of Health and National Task Force Against COVID-19 said 1,255,716 doses have been administered out of the 3,025,600 doses delivered to the country.

A total of 1,093,651 people have gotten their first shot and 162,065 individuals have received both doses since the start of the rollout on March 1.

The Philippines has so far recorded 936,133 cases of COVID-19 with 779,084 recoveries and 15,960 deaths. — DVM, GMA News
