The Philippine National Police (PNP) has reported four doses of COVID-19 vaccine wastage due to shattered or broken vials from their supply.

PNP chief Police General Debold Sinas stated that out of 1,004 vaccine doses received, four were damaged.

The PNP received 1,200 doses of Sinovac CoronaVac initially, with four vials spoiled due to a manufacturing defect, and these were part of China's donation.

Vaccination in the PNP prioritizes medical front-liners, including those in police and military hospitals and health facilities, who are caring for infected policemen and working in molecular laboratories.

The PNP has completed the inoculation of their health personnel in the National Capital Region.

Only two personnel have experienced mild allergic reactions that lasted about two hours.
