Gov’t secures 164 million COVID-19 vaccine doses for 6-month supply, task force says

The National Task Force Against COVID-19 assures steady supply of COVID-19 vaccines in the next six months after the government secured 164 million doses through procurement and donations.

Of the total secured supply, 89 million doses were procured by the government from vaccine brands Sinovac, Pfizer, Moderna, and Sputnik V; 24 million doses were purchased by the private sector and LGUs from Moderna and AstraZeneca; 2 million doses were from bilateral donations; 44 million from the COVAX facility; and 5 million from a cost-sharing agreement between the Philippine government and COVAX.

NTF Chief Implementer and vaccine czar Carlito Galvez Jr. also assured that the country is on schedule with its targets given the steady supply. He also noted that LGUs are able to administer more than 400,000 shots per day. “We are now venturing on the possibility of including in our procurement the transition supply so we will not have any zero quarter,” he said.
