MANILA, Philippines — Vice President Leni Robredo’s “Vaccine Express” program would be expanded to Cagayan de Oro, House Deputy Speaker Rufus Rodriguez said Tuesday. On the Vaccine Express, we will request vaccines from IATF. For the part of the Office of the Vice President (OVP), spokesperson Barry Gutierrez said they will soon announce the schedule of the project’s launching in Cagayan de Oro. Rodriguez earlier appealed to Robredo to expand her “Vaccine Express’ initiative to Visayas and Mindanao as some areas are experiencing surges of COVID-19 infections. Rodriguez earlier said no politics was involved in Robredo’s initiative to expand her COVID-19 vaccination project beyond Metro Manila.
