Although Galvez did not mention how many doses of Pfizer vaccines will arrive next month, he said around 42 million doses have already been secured as the Covax Facility guarantees access of up to 20 percent of the population of a participating country. The Sinovac vaccines were purchased through a bilateral arrangement between the government and the Chinese firm.

This came after the first tripartite agreement by the national government with AstraZeneca in November 2020 for the supply of 2.6 million vaccine doses.
