UAE donates 100K Sinopharm jabs to PH
The Philippines received a donation of 100,000 doses of Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine from the United Arab Emirates on Wednesday, August 11, 2021.
This shipment marks the first vaccine donation from the UAE to the Philippines and the entry of a seventh vaccine brand into the country's vaccination program.
The donated Sinopharm vaccines, manufactured in the UAE as HayatVax and locally approved for emergency use on the same day, arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
These vaccines are intended for deployment in areas experiencing a surge in COVID-19 cases, with a possibility of administration in the Bangsamoro region.
The UAE's donation is separate from the one million Sinopharm doses expected from China later in August.
