A total of 299,520 doses of Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine were donated by the United States to the Philippines through the COVAX facility on Monday night, June 27.
The vaccines comprised the final batch of US-donated jabs to the country under the administration of President Duterte. Duterte’s term ends on June 30. According to the vaccine czar, this fresh shipment is a symbol of the United States’ continued commitment to help boost the Philippines’ national vaccination program and overall pandemic response efforts.
“The United States, the Philippines, and COVAX have been working together for more than a year now to bring safe and effective vaccines to the Philippines. Even though we’ve done a good job of getting a lot of people vaccinated, COVID is still with us. We still have to take our vaccines,” said US Embassy Chargé d’Affaires Heather Variava.
