“From the distributed doses, over 1 million Filipinos: healthcare workers, senior citizens, and persons with comorbidities have been afforded partial protection through administration of the first dose,” the DOH said.
While the areas with the highest number of vaccines administered were the NCR with 423,688; followed by Central Luzon with 101,605; Calabarzon with 100,627; and Central Visayas with 75,169. “In one week, we were able to successfully distribute almost 900,000 doses to all our regions—this is a testament to our logistics handling and cold chain capabilities and shows that we are ready to distribute vaccines quickly once the bulk of the vaccine doses from our negotiations and COVAX arrive,” added DOH.
