132-K Sputnik V doses to arrive tonight

The Philippines will receive tonight (July 9) another batch of government-procured 132,200 Sputnik V doses containing both first and second vaccine components.

The shipment will arrive at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 around 10:00 p.m. This consists of 82,200 component 1 doses and 50,000 component 2 doses.

The remaining 37,800 doses of component 1 to complete the delivery of 170,000 doses will arrive in the evening of July 10.

The National Task Force (NTF) Against COVID-19 said the postponement of the delivery was due to logistical concerns. It was initially announced that the vaccines will arrive on July 6.

The first shipment of 15,000 doses of Sputnik V was delivered on May 1, followed by another 15,000 doses on May 12, another 50,000 doses on May 30, and 100,000 doses on June 11.

The first two batches of the vaccine were distributed in Makati, Muntinlupa, Manila, Taguig, and Parañaque.  – Report from Rod Lagusad/AG- jlo
