VVAC spokesperson, Doctor Mary Jean Loreche, said that the vials, whose expiry dates, were labeled December 2021, actually had an extended expiration rate until March 2022. “Wala po tayong expired na bakuna sa ating mga vaccination sites. Tayo po ay natutuwa na yung mga binigay na bakuna na near expiry, for AstraZeneca, konti lang po ang naiwan na expired at hindi po yan galing dito sa Metro Cebu, galing po yan sa karatig na probinsya,” said Loreche in her daily press briefer.
Those with an expiry of December 2021 will actually expire on March 2022, while those with the an expiry of January 2022 will expire April 2022, so on and so forth.
