When asked if the PNP was targeting to vaccinate 100% of its staff by end of the year, Alba admitted that they could not ensure that as of the moment as other factors needed to be considered, such as pregnant and breastfeeding policewomen and those with comorbidities.
“We have to give them due consideration. What we are targeting here is ‘yung wala talagang valid na rason. We are still at 2,330 in our data and probably sila yung… of the whole community who are non-believers of vaccines,” Alba added.
(What we are targeting here are those who have no valid reason not to get vaccinated. Our data shows that we’re still at 2,330 and they are probably those who are non-believers ib vaccines.)
Alba also asked the help of the media to disseminate accurate information on the government’s vaccination program to encourage everyone to get inoculated.
