Of the vaccines that had expired, “almost 75 percent” were delivered to the country through procurements made by private companies and local governments, the health official noted.
The latest count reported by the DOH on Friday reflected a sharp increase from the 31 million counted in mid-November, when some senators raised the alarm about the wastage rate. Lawmakers had estimated that P15.6 billion worth of COVID-19 vaccines were wasted. No new amount was given by the DOH for the latest count of wastage.
