Apart from the Pfizer vaccines, he said the Philippines will also receive some five to nine million doses of Covid-19 vaccines developed by British-Swedish pharmaceutical firm AstraZeneca, with the initial delivery expected between mid to late February.
But despite praising this strategy, Robredo said it would be better if the names of health workers who will get the vaccines are now identified. She noted that the vaccination process is “time-bound” since such medical items should not be stored longer than the allowed period. “Sabihin na natin na 117,000 people, dapat alam na natin ‘yung mga pangalan. Alam na noong mga matuturukan na sila ‘yung first priority para hindi nagsasayang ng oras,” Robredo said.“Walang problema kung available na kaagad na sabay-sabay pero kung paunti-unti ‘yung pag-deliver, kailangan ‘yung tuturukan alam na niya ‘yung kanyang schedule at dapat mayroon na rin tayong assessment kung sino ‘yung may resistance magpaturok para hindi nasasayang,” she added.
The DOH earlier said the master list of healthcare workers who will be prioritized in the Covid-19 vaccination would be ready by February 15.
