(GMA News) They could either line up for vaccination at the hospital or line up for cremation at the crematory, and for senior citizen Zenaida Cristobal, the choice was clear.

According to Mariz Umali’s report on “24 Oras,” this is what Cristobal tells other senior citizens who are hesitant to get inoculated against the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

“Ewan ko sa inyo ha pero kung pila sa ospital, pila rin sa crematory, so it’s your choice. Ako ayaw kong pumila sa crematory. I just want my bakuna,” Zenaida Cristobal

(I don’t know about you, but if there’s a line at the hospital, there’s also a line at the crematory. So it’s your choice. I don’t want to line up in the crematory. I just want my vaccine.)

Cristobal was one of the senior citizens who lined up for her dose of Astrazeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine at the Ramon Magsaysay High School in Sampaloc, Manila.

Felito Ramirez, another senior citizen, was also glad to receive the vaccine.

“I would perhaps not go sa vaccination if it’s coming from say China or from Russia or— from Europe or from the States. I have more confidence in Western technology,” Ramirez said.

Meanwhile, 65-year-old cancer survivor Mary Ann Flores was okay with receiving any of the vaccines.

“Nu’ng tinanong ko sa aking surgeon and my cardio, they gave me thumbs up. And they told me to grab the vaccine. When I heard that we should reach herd immunity, sabi ko kailangan talaga,” Flores said.

(When I asked my surgeon and my cardio, they gave me a thumbs up. And they told me to grab the vaccine. When I heard that we should reach herd immunity, so I said we really need it.)
