COVID-19 vaccination information drive needs improvement, PMA president says

By Pearl Gumapos

Philippine Medical Association (PMA) President Dr. Benito Atienza on Wednesday (Jan. 26) said there is a need to improve the dissemination of information regarding vaccination against COVID-19, especially with the vaccination drive for five to 11-year-olds coming up.

He explains the need to strengthen it with parents still hesitant to have their children vaccinated.

Meanwhile, Atienza also called for the implementation of another National Vaccination Days to allow the increased concentration of parents who can bring their children to vaccination sites.

“Sana magkaroon ng National Vaccination Days para mas concentrated po ang ating mga magulang na dalhin ang kanilang mga anak sa mga vaccination centers,” he said during the Laging Handa public briefing.
