President Rodrigo Duterte’s spokesman expressed confidence that there will be no supply interruption to the government’s Covid-19 vaccination program.
On Wednesday, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said the country is set to receive more vaccine doses from the COVAX Facility and China’s Sinovac Biotech over the next months.
“Tuluy-tuloy na po iyan dahil may inaasahan po tayong isang milyon galing po sa Sinovac, ito na po iyong bibilhin natin. Ang ginagamit natin ay iyong donated lamang ‘no. Pero kung matatandaan ninyo, February, talagang magdi-deliver sila ng 50,000 at pagdating po ng Marso magdi-deliver sila ng 950,” Roque said in an interview on Dobol B sa News TV.
The secretary also said another 500,000 vaccine doses shipped by the COVAX Facility would arrive in the country this month.
“Iyong COVAX Facility ay inaasahan po natin na mayroon pa tayong 500,000 plus so sigurado po iyan darating ng Marso. So sa tingin ko po hindi na maaantala ito at pagdating po ng Abril eh diyan naman po sisipa iyong marami rin nating nabili rin ‘no,” according to him.
“Kaya nga po kampante po ang gobyerno na tuluy-tuloy na po ito at sa lalong mabilis na panahon sana matapos po natin ang mga health workers, 3.4 million po iyan. Pagkatapos po sana ay mayroon na tayong makuha para sa mga seniors dahil iyon na po ang ating susunod na target ng ating vaccination,” he added.
The Philippines launched its Covid-19 vaccination campaign on Monday with doses of Sinovac vaccines donated by Chinese government.
