NTF assures Filipinos can be vaccinated despite global shortages

Despite global vaccine shortages and delays, the National Task Force (NTF) Against Covid-19 assures all Filipinos can be vaccinated.

India has halted exports of AstraZeneca vaccines manufactured by Serum Institute of India to prioritize its citizens due to rising infections.

The Philippines relies on Sinovac vaccines with recent delivery of one million doses and expects Sputnik V vaccines this month, while South Korea and Indonesia also face delays in vaccine shipments.

Moody's Analytics warns that the Philippines' delayed vaccination program could worsen due to India's shipment delays, increasing vaccine inequity among countries.
