Pfizer, Moderna vaccines seen to arrive in May, June
The Philippines is anticipating the arrival of Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccine doses in May and June, according to Manila's Ambassador to Washington Jose Manuel Romualdez.
An initial shipment of 117,000 doses of Pfizer's vaccine is expected to arrive next month, followed by nearly 200,000 doses of Moderna's vaccine in June.
Romualdez mentioned that the Philippines is committed to receiving 20 million doses of vaccine from a particular supplier before the end of the year, with deliveries commencing around June 15 and increasing in the subsequent months.
Legal issues, specifically concerning the indemnity agreement, had caused delays in the delivery of the Pfizer vaccines, but the Department of Justice is reportedly in the final stages of resolving these matters.
