Interviewed on Dobol B TV, Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said that the government has been able to negotiate with vaccine manufacturer Pfizer for the supply of anti-COVID vaccines for the age group.
Malacañang has said initially that the vaccination would be rolled out in six vaccination sites in the National Capital Region on Friday. “By next week, we will be launching in specific regions in the country like Davao and Cebu,” the Health official said.“Dumating ang 780,000 doses ng bakuna kagabi para sa ating kabataan. Sunod-sunod nang darating ang mga bakuna kaya we will have our expansion within this month,” she added.
