2M COVID-19 vaccine doses due in April or May, says Palace
The Philippines is expecting the delivery of two million doses of COVID-19 vaccines in April or May, with 1.5 million doses from Sinovac and 500,000 from Russia's Gamaleya Research Institute.
The country has so far received 2,525,600 COVID-19 vaccine doses, including two million from Sinovac and 525,600 from AstraZeneca.
Vaccination using AstraZeneca doses has been suspended for individuals younger than 60 years old due to concerns about blood clots.
The government is using diplomatic channels to secure an additional 979,200 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
Local government units and the private sector have procured 17 million doses of AstraZeneca.
The initial expectation of receiving four million doses this month was reduced due to global supply problems.
As of April 5, more than 854,000 Filipinos have been vaccinated against the coronavirus.
