Go Negosyo founder Joey Concepcion on Saturday, Dec. 10 warned that the “same mistakes” might happen again in the further implementation of the country’s Covid-19 vaccination efforts, particularly with the new bivalent vaccines, if flaws in local healthcare regulation are not fixed.
In the early days of the pandemic, Concepcion led private sector efforts to procure Covid-19 vaccines through a tripartite agreement that overcame regulatory roadblocks for the vaccines. The experts said there is a duplication of roles and overreach of mandates among the committees that comprise the government’s vaccine bodies.
Former DOH Secretary and now Iloilo 2nd district Rep. Janette Garin, said that this process should be followed. Limpin said it might be better for tasks such as the assessment of factors for government procurement like cost effectiveness, distribution, and storage, to be relegated to the HTAC, which can then be included in the drug formulary.
