MANILA — The Philippines has secured 30 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine developed by US biotech firm Novavax Inc, an official leading the country's inoculation strategy said on Tuesday.
"Thirty million ang ating order... It can be expanded to another 10 [million], just in case maging successful ang ating mga government negotiations," he said in a press briefing. Galvez said the Philippines would get at least 1.4 million more COVID-19 shots from Sinovac this month. At least 216,794 health workers have been vaccinated as of 11 a.m. of Tuesday, or 16 days since the rollout began, said Galvez.
