3-M newly-produced Sinovac doses arrive in PH

The Philippines received an additional three million doses of government-procured Sinovac COVID-19 vaccines on Sunday, Sept. 19.

The Chinese-manufactured vaccines landed at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 2 at around 6:00 PM.

According to the National Task Force (NTF) Against COVID-19 Chief Implementer Secretary Carlito Galvez, the new batch of vaccines has yet to receive its Certificate of Analysis (COA) as they are “newly-produced” vaccines.

Also, another 2,020,590 doses of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines from the COVAX Facility are expected to arrive at NAIA Terminal 3 on Sunday around midnight.

Galvez further added that about 20 million individuals here may be fully vaccinated by the end of September.

Meanwhile, data from the latest COVID-19 Vaccine Inventory released on Saturday (Sept. 18) showed that the country has already received a total of 59,359,810 COVID-19 vaccine doses. – Report from Rod Lagusad / CF – bny
