Philippines Likely To Get Pfizer Vaccine Between Q2 to Q3 Next Year
PHILIPPINES PFIZER VACCINE PROCUREMENT – According to vaccine czar Carlito Galvez Jr., the country is likely to get Pfizer and BioNTech’s vaccine around the second or third quarter of 2021.
Earlier, Galvez stated that the Philippines is likely to procure China’s Sinovac vaccine first. Furthermore, he said that the country is expected to get China’s COVID-19 vaccine candidates in the first quarter of 2021.
Meanwhile, during an interview with ABS-CBN, Galvez acknowledged that the reason why the Philippines was late was due to richer countries getting first dibs on the vaccine for Q1. As such, he said that what’s left for countries such as the Philippines are the vaccines available in Q2 or Q3.
Alam niyo po yung mga vaccines came from the first world countries. They even finance it. Definitely, kapag po sila na-finance, sa kanila nanggaling, definitely sila po ang ang mauuna mag roll out…
Kahit na magaling po ang plano natin, talagang kahit nauna po tayo magplano, I believe we cannot get the vaccine because it is already reserved to the origin countries
Currently, the UK has already rolled out Pfizer and BioNTech’ vaccine to the public. Yesterday, a 90-Year-Old grandma became the first person to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Moreover, the nurse that delivered the vaccine was a Filipina.
