3,000 Sputnik V doses arrive at Sta. Ana Hospital
The Philippines received its initial shipment of 15,000 doses of Russia's Sputnik V COVID-19 vaccine on Saturday, May 1, 2021.
Of these, 3,000 doses arrived at Sta. Ana Hospital in Manila on Monday, May 3, 2021, and are being stored at the Manila COVID-19 Vaccine Storage Facility.
Manila Mayor Francisco "Isko Moreno" Domagoso stated that the capital city can begin vaccinating medical frontliners aged 18 and above with Sputnik V once they receive approval from the Department of Health (DOH).
Sta. Ana Hospital and Ospital ng Maynila Medical Center will be vaccination sites for healthcare workers in Manila.
Due to some medical frontliners already receiving Sinovac and AstraZeneca vaccines, Manila plans to begin vaccinating senior citizens and individuals with comorbidities in the coming days.
An additional 485,000 doses of Sputnik V are expected to be delivered within May.
