Statement of NTF Against COVID-19 Chief Implementer and Vaccine Czar Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. on display of tarps and posters of political groups in vaccination sites

7 July 2021

The National Task Force Against COVID-19 recognizes the efforts of individuals and groups in helping to ramp up the implementation of our National Vaccination Program thruough public awareness to lessen vaccine hesitancy.

However, we would like to remind them to restrain themselves and refrain from posting ads in vaccination sites as these may be misinterpreted by the general public as political agenda to further personal interest

Our vaccination centers, whether those established by the national government, local governments, or the private sector, are to be utilized solely for the implementation of the National Vaccination Program.

We are working closely with the Department of the Interior and Local Government to look into reports of vaccination sites which are plastered with posters and tarpaulins bearing the names of politicians and political groups.

We would like to emphasize that no individual or organization can take credit for the National Vaccination Program because it is the product of a whole-of-government, whole-of-society approach.

This program should not be politicized in any way because its main objectives are to protect our people against the disease, save lives, and bring a greater sense of normalcy to our people as we revive our economy.

May this serve as a reminder to those who may have the intention of using our vaccine program for their political gain to stop such acts, and instead use their time, energy and resources to help convince our fellow Filipinos to get the jab.
