The vaccines were received by NTF Chief Implementer and vaccine czar Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. and other government officials at the NAIA Terminal 3.
According to Galvez, the 2.5 million vaccine doses from Sinovac will mostly be allocated for the second dose.
So far, the Philippines has received 13 million CoronaVac doses, including the 1 million doses donated by the Chinese government and the 900,000 doses procured by the private sector and LGUs.
