Another batch of one million shots of the Chinese-manufactured vaccines will be shipped tomorrow.

Health Undersecretary Carol Tanio said the 1.5 million doses do not have a certificate of analysis yet, which is a requirement before the vaccines can be distributed. She said it could take two to three days before the shipment can be sent out to different local government units.

The official said the 2.5 million Sinovac doses are set to be distributed to Metro Manila, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, Rizal, Pampanga, Batangas, Metro Cebu, Metro Davao, and other areas experiencing COVID-19 surges such as Iloilo and Cagayan de Oro. The country has received over 32 million COVID-19 vaccine doses, the biggest chunk of which are Sinovac shots. Over 11 million Filipinos have received their first dose, while 6.8 million individuals are now fully vaccinated.
