More free vaccines for all elderly Filipinos urged

Philippine Daily Inquirer / 05:10 AM November 15, 2024

A party-list lawmaker is pushing for more free vaccines against infectious diseases for all elderly Filipinos.

Agri party-list Rep. Wilbert Lee has filed House Bill No. 11055, or the proposed Safeguarding Seniors: Free Immunization Act of 2024, which will amend Republic Act No. 9994, or the Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2010, broadening the coverage of free vaccines to include all elderly Filipinos.
