The delivery of the first batch of Moderna's COVID-19 vaccines has been pushed back due to logistical issues.

[Translation: Normally, the problems we encounter are transportation and logistical challenges. It's only four days delayed and that's normal for all of our vaccines, we encounter and we can't avoid delays.]

This would be the first shipment of the US-made vaccine brand in the country. From this batch, 100,000 doses will be given to the private sector, while 150,000 will be for the government. Galvez added that one million more Moderna doses are expected to arrive in July, while two million will be shipped by September.

The Philippines in March signed a tripartite agreement with the American company for 20 million doses of its vaccine — with 13 million shots secured by the government while the remaining seven million were ordered by the private sector.na
