More Covid-19 are expected to arrive in the Philippines in the coming days as the government accelerates its vaccine rollout, according to Senator Bong Go.
The chair of the Senate health committee said that a total of 3,525,600 doses of Covid-19 vaccines have already arrived in the country, as of April 28. An additional 500,000 Sinovac doses also arrived this week, while the delivery of initial doses of Gamaleya Sputnik V from Russia are still being finalized.
Go said about ten million more vaccine doses are expected to arrive before the end of the first half of this year. The government aims to achieve its target of vaccinating around 70 percent of the country’s population against COVID-19 in 2021 to achieve herd immunity.
With the arrival of more vaccines in the country, Go called on the public to trust the government’s vaccination program and appealed to them to follow the vaccination priority list.
“Magtiwala kayo sa gobyerno, ‘wag kayo matakot sa bakuna, matakot kayo sa Covid-19. Ang bakuna po ang tanging susi natin para unti-unti na tayong makabalik sa normal na pamumuhay,” Go said.
He also reiterated that there should be no VIP treatment in the vaccination program.
“Kaya ako po, nananawagan sa ating mga kababayan na sumunod tayo sa priority list ng gobyerno. Unahin natin dapat ang frontliners, senior citizens, persons with comorbidities,” Go said.
