Over 1.5M Janssen doses donated by Dutch gov’t arrive
The Philippines received 1,526,400 doses of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines donated by the Netherlands through the COVAX facility.
This donation is part of the 7.5 million Janssen doses pledged by the Netherlands, making it the largest single donation of COVID-19 vaccines received by the Philippines to date.
The Janssen vaccines are beneficial for reaching people in rural areas due to their easy storage and deployment, and the bulk of this shipment will be sent to island provinces of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).
A portion will also be distributed to other regions and provinces with adequate cold-chain storage facilities and a high number of unvaccinated senior citizens.
With this latest arrival, the Philippines has received a total of 158,540,170 doses of COVID-19 vaccines.
As of December 13, over 41 million Filipinos, or 53.20% of the adult population, have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
