Galvez: Slight delay in COVAX vaccine deliveries due to global logistics

The government is experiencing a slight delay in the delivery of Covid-19 vaccines from the WHO-led COVAX Facility due to global logistics constraints.

Manufacturing countries are conducting massive vaccination campaigns, restricting vaccine exports.

Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire and presidential spokesman Harry Roque stated that almost 979,200 doses of AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccines will arrive in the country in April or early May.

The DOH assured that while there could be some delays, the vaccines are expected to arrive by the last few days of March or first week of April.
