PH leads Asean in daily Covid-19 jabs: Galvez
The Philippines administers around 150,000 COVID-19 vaccine jabs daily, the highest among the five largest ASEAN nations.
This achievement is attributed to the systematic approach of local governments and the Department of Health.
The country aims to increase daily vaccinations to 500,000 in the third quarter of 2021 and 740,000 in the fourth quarter to meet herd immunity targets.
The Philippines was previously recognized for its high weekly vaccination rate, administering approximately one million individuals per week over the last two weeks.
The country also received recognition for its fiscal policy responses and is expecting a steady supply of vaccines from the COVAX facility, AstraZeneca, Moderna, Sinovac, and Sputnik V.
The United States has pledged to prioritize the Philippines as a beneficiary of its global vaccine sharing initiative.
