The arrival of the initial 15,000 doses of Sputnik V Covid-19 vaccine manufactured by Russia’s Gamaleya Research Institute won’t push through today, Malacañang announced Wednesday.
In a statement, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said that “logistical challenges” pushed back the shipment of Russian vaccines.
“We confirm that logistical challenges resulted in the delay of the arrival of 15,000 trial order of Sputnik V,” said Roque.
Such issues, according to him, include absence of direct flights from Russia and storage requirement of -20 degrees celsius.
The official assured that vaccine czar Carlito Galvez Jr. has taken steps to address these challenges so the country can receive the first batch of Sputnik V next month.
