Pagbabakuna sa edad 5-11 target simulan sa unang linggo ng Pebrero — DOH

Target ng pamahalaan na simulan ang pagbabakuna kontra COVID-19 sa mga kabataang edad 5 hanggang 11 sa buwan ng Pebrero.

Pinagpaplanuhan na ng Department of Health (DOH) na bakunahan laban sa COVID-19 ang mga kabataang edad 5 hanggang 11 taon sa unang linggo ng Pebrero.

Ayon kay DOH Undersecretary Myrna Cabotaje sa Laging Handa public briefing noong Biyernes, hinihintay pa ng pamahalaan ang pagdating ng mga biniling Pfizer vaccines para sa mga nasabing edad.

“Ang tinitingnan nating date, ealiest first week of February, maumpisahan natin ‘yung pagbabakuna ng ating 5 to 11. Hindi pa ‘ho tayo nagbabakuna ng 5 to 11, parating pa lang po ‘yung bakuna,” paglilinaw ng kalihim.

Matatandaang inaprubahan ng Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ang emergency use authorization ng Pfizer vaccines nito lamang Disyembre 2021 para sa mga kabataang edad 5 hanggang 11 taon.

Sinabi rin ni DOH Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire na posibleng darating sa bansa ang unang tranche ng bakuna ng Pfizer sa huling linggo ng Enero hanggang sa unang linggo ng Pebrero.

‘Senate proves flaw on PH democracy on Sara Duterte impeachment case’

The International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines (ICHRP) Chairperson, Peter Murphy, has criticized the Philippine Senate's return of Vice President Sara Duterte's impeachment articles to the House, calling it a "blot on Philippine democracy." Murphy highlighted concerns over trial delays and potential cancellation, emphasizing the well-founded nature of the impeachment grounds, which include misuse of funds, unexplained wealth, and betrayal of public trust. He noted strong public and institutional support for the trial's continuation, urging the Senate to uphold its constitutional duty amidst protests. Murphy also called on the international community to uphold democratic standards and cease military aid to the Marcos Jr. administration, which he described as a "rogue state."
