Duterte's Quip About Vaccinating People in Their Sleep Was a Joke, Spokesman Says
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was joking when he suggested that people reluctant to get vaccinated against COVID-19 should be inoculated in their sleep sleep, presidential spokesman Harry Roque said on Thursday.
"Yes, it was a joke," Roque told a virtual briefing.
The remark was made earlier this week when Duterte complained that the country's vaccination effort was hindered by those who are still hesitant to get the injection.
"I know many people are still hesitant. That's the problem, those people who do not want to get vaccinated ... Let's enter their houses and vaccinate them while asleep. End of story", Duterte said, as quoted by the newspaper the Inquirer.
The president also urged the population to comply with restrictions, including social distancing and a requirement to wear masks.
