BOC clears 3-M Moderna vaccine shipment
The Bureau of Customs (BOC)-Port of NAIA has cleared the shipment of 3,000,060 doses of Moderna vaccines donated by the United States.
This shipment, which arrived on August 3, 2021, marks the biggest vaccine donation to the Philippines by a single country to date.
The US government had previously donated over 3 million doses of Moderna vaccines, delivered via the COVAX facility, and earlier provided Johnson & Johnson vaccines.
The BOC's facilitation of vaccine shipments is part of its support for the national vaccination program, especially amid the threat of the Delta variant.
Approximately 17 million more Moderna vaccine doses are expected to arrive under a supply agreement with Moderna, Inc.
