Philippines, Pfizer ink deal for 40 million COVID-19 vaccine doses - gov't

The delivery of the vaccines are expected to begin “after eight weeks starting August” and the shipments will be delivered in bulk, vaccine czar Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. said in a statement.

The procurement of the 40 million jabs will be funded through a multilateral arrangement with the Asian Development Bank , which follows direct disbursement scheme where payments are made directly by the fund manager to the vaccine manufacturer. Of the total, 26 million are from Sinovac, 10 million are from Gamaleya Institute, 20 million doses are from Moderna, 17 million doses are from AstraZeneca, and 40 million doses are from Pfizer.

“We intend to deploy the Pfizer, Sputnik V and Moderna vaccines as soon as possible and distribute it even to rural areas and communities. However, this will not be possible if the receiving LGU is not ready to handle these types of vaccines."

Hopefully soon

TO ALL PLEASE WAITFORPFIZER Covid19VaccinePH

Ibigay nyo sa mga mamayang Pilipino ang maganda at dekalidad na bakuna hindi yang paborito nyong Sinovac, maawa kyo sa mga Pilipino nagkakamatay na dahil sa kapabayaan at pangungulimbat nyo ng pera ng gobyerno !

ang kupad talaga ni digong! kung anong kinabagal magsalita, ganun din sya kumilos at umaksyon! well, ano pa nga ba ang ieexpect?! inutil nga dba! 😂😂😂

Pag sa ordinaryong mamamayan SinoVac , pag sa mayaman, artista o Trapo Pfizer.

Thanks President Duterte, this is the best vaccines for everybody.

Yung mga balikbayan mula US o OFW na nabakunahan na nang Pfzer, Moderna ay kailangan pang magquarantine at ang daming rekositos sa protocol na yan! Tapos Oorder kayo ng Pfizer Moderna sa America, Tanga lang ba ang DOH at IATF? Huwag namang obvious, halatado na kasi.

LIFTUAEBAN

Just publicity! It’s true kung dumating na. Otherwise, Sabi nga ni inutil, stupid ang maniwala during political campaign! (I know it’s not time yet but basagulerang inday tarpaulin is all over the country)

Hopefully these ordered vaccines could reach every part of our country and that people get vaccinated as soon as possible. Praying for the Philippines.

Yan mas recommend ko ang Pfizer o di kaya Moderna. Kesa sa Aztrazeneca o Johnson & Johnson. Kasi mga high tech at pagkakagawa samantala ang Johnson & Johnson at Aztrazeneca ay dinebelop na virus para tanggapin ng katawan. Basi sa napagtanungan ko na nagbakuna saken.

Bw tani ma vaccinan nman kmi ba. Mga when pa ang the rest of the pop mn 😔

Nangangamoy election na!

Tang na!

buti naman. now we're talking. and procure more from other brands like moderna, j&j, novavax, etc.

Sa ibang bansa kailangan ng booster na pfizer pag chinese brand un vaccine. So makakasama ba un mga OFW na na vaccine ng sinovac sa order na ito?

And we hope that there'll be distribution here in Visayas and Mindanao. We hope that there'll be freezers ready for those vaccines. Sayang yung tax and health insurance namin na working from private companies who can't even get hold of them. Words are not enough sa worry ko.

Hahaha. Gagamitin sa kampanya ng mga pulpulitiko ni Buang. 🤪🤪🤪 Wag na kayong magtaka kung may magsulputan na 'Pabakuna ni Mayor/Gob/Bokal/Konsehal'. 🤪🤪🤪🤪

Good. Atleast hindi puro stress balita sa mga opisyal na to.

ANCALERTS Haha Election season! 🤣

Huli man daw at magaling………huli pa rin

why only now? they shid hv done this at first for the FRONT LINERS…

Could have been sooner, should have been sooner. But if course, the vaccines from China HAD TO come in first.

Let’s keep the vaccines coming para tuloy tuloy at walang delay...

salamat shopee!

The Inquirer report has the timeline: in 8 weeks or starting August (end of, I suppose).

Salamat President Duterte

Sinovac left the chat
