Over 600K AstraZeneca jabs arrive as gov't mulls mandatory COVID-19 vaccination

A total of 661,200 doses of AstraZeneca vaccines that were procured by the private sector and local government units were delivered to the country on Friday morning, September 17.

Galvez said the AstraZeneca jabs, secured through “A Dose of Hope” program, would be a big boost to the ongoing national vaccination program which the government plans to make mandatory. Eight percent of the newly delivered AstraZeneca vaccines will be allocated to the LGUs while the remaining 20 percent will go to the private sector.

“Malaking bagay ‘yan kasi kailangan buksan na natin ang ekonomiya kasi lahat ng mga bakuna pinoprotektahan ang mga tao. Maski may breakthrough infections, ‘yong mga bakunado hindi pumupunta sa ospital ,” Concepcion said.The Go Negosyo founder emphasized that if unvaccinated individuals get severe COVID-19 infection, they would have to be admitted in hospitals which make the healthcare capacity full.

In France, Germany, Denmark and other European countries those people infected previously with covid need one dose or no vaccination of anti covid vaccines, its a debate now in America, the Philippines should study it to free our limited supply of vaccines.

Kung kailan naman may 1st dose na tsaka lang dumating 😅
