Philippine vaccine czar Carlito Galvez Jr said the government is still trying to secure second doses for persons who have already received their first shots of the AstraZeneca vaccine.

The government is doing its best, he said on Tuesday, April 6, amid uncertainty over when the expected delivery of 979,200 doses of the vaccine from the COVAX Facility will arrive.

Duque and Galvez reasoned that because the time between the first and second doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine is 12 weeks or two months, it would be highly likely that a new shipment would arrive by that time.Duterte approved Duque's and Galvez's proposal. Because some Filipinos got their first AstraZeneca shots in March, they are due for a second dose in May or a month from now.So vague is the timeline of arrivals of COVAX Facility vaccines that Galvez considers the schedule"indefinite" and no longer includes the expected shipments in his presentations on vaccine arrivals.

Incompetence to the infinite. I’m based in SG and I already secured my first pfizer vaccine shot in two weeks, and guess what? The second shot has also been scheduled 21 days after my first shot. This tiny city state has secured more than 8 million vaccines for the year 2021.

pag dating ng second dose expired na yan 1st dose so balik na naman sa 1st dose so good job Philippine vaccine czar Carlito Galvez Jr galing mo talagang mag plan team palpak go go go😅😀😝🤣🤪👊💩

kakaloka! wala talagang plano. di ba dpat naka-reserved na ang second dose bago pa iturok yung first?

Huh? Is this a joke? Or a prank?

'trying', 'doing the best'. Jusko naman sa mga keywords. Para synonymous sa 'palpak' puchaaaa

Pucha naloko na... pag walang 2nd dose na nakuha paano na?

ibig sabihin , wala ung second dose?, it should be when you had ur 1st you have a guaranteed 2nd,, so pwede ngayon masayang lahat ng first dose,,,,, how irresponsible

This statement from the vaccine czar tells us that the 2nd dose of Astra Zeneca will not make it on time or not at all! This is the height of incompetence! He should reveal to us the reason why he doubts the 2nd dose is still up in the sir!

Lack of planning and bad management at the highest level. Who else could we rely on?

This is bad news, but please don't tell that to the government because they have a totally different interpretation....as always

“trying” ... nakupo! Patay tayo dyan! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Pustahan di darating yung 2nd dose.

Haha! Labo

best and brightest

Then we are f****d!!! Excellent!!!

Bale wala yung first dose pag di nasecure yung pang 2nd dose 👊🏼🤡

Eh? 🤦🏻‍♀️😩😩😩🤷🏻‍♀️

Wala na ba iba na mas may kaya sa task?

Seems to me Carlito is not good at his job at all. He should be replaced.

paano tayo mag kaka heard immunity niya kung pawawalang bisa mo yung bisa ng gamot sa nabakunahan na?

Best na yern?
