He is trying to justify the haphazard vaccination. Even the GMOA has voiced their concern and displeasure in handling of the vaccination program.

Being a resident from Katana I can confirm that the PHI confirmed to wait until the respective GS’s are informed of the vaccine roll out. The GS is presently unaware of any plans. So I am uncertain what being tagged as “high risk” actually constitutes here if communication channels aren’t kept open.

Is that why the DG health in a news article had said that health officials are under pressure by the affluent and powerful to get the vaccine outside the planned program ?? You talk nonsense to cover a multitude of sins
