President Rodrigo Duterte has approved the use of all COVAX-donated AstraZeneca vaccines as first dose vaccination for all medical frontliners.
On Friday, Palace Spokesman Harry Roque said Duterte issued a memorandum approving usage of 525,600 AstraZeneca coronavirus (Covid-19) shots to healthcare workers.
This will ensure the safety and protection of more health workers against Covid-19, according to the Chief Executive.
“Nag-isyu po ng memorandum ang ating Executive Secretary, and, I will quote: ‘Please be informed that the President has approved the request to utilize all on-hand COVAX donated AstraZeneca vaccine doses as first dose vaccination in order to protect a larger number of frontline healthcare workers in areas witnessing increased transmission’,” Roque said in his virtual presser.
“So, naaprubahan na po ng ating Presidente yung paggamit ng lahat po ng 525,000 AstraZeneca na nakuha po natin, donasyon galing sa COVAX facility, para gamitin po bilang first dose para sa ating mga frontline workers,” he added.
