Natanggap na ng Pilipinas ang nasa 844,800 doses ng AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines kahapon, Biyernes, October 15.
Ang nasabing shipment ang kauna-unahang donasyon ng German government sa pamamagitan ng COVAX facility via Emirates Flight EK 332 na lumapag sa Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3.
Sinalubong at nagpasalamat si vaccine czar Carlito Galvez Jr. sa pamahalaan ng Germany.
“Over 400,000 Filipinos will benefit from these vaccines and this means more than 400,000 of our countrymen will be saved from severe COVID-19 complications and death,” pahayag ni Galvez.
“Through this gesture of goodwill and act of compassion, Germany has shown its unwavering support to the global effort to overcome this life-threatening disease,” dagdag pa ni Galvez.
Umabot na sa 90,619,530 COVID-19 vaccine doses ang dumating sa bansa mula noong March.
“With the steady arrival of bigger vaccine deliveries, we are confident that we can vaccinate 50 million Filipinos by year-end and 70 percent of the country’s population before next year’s national elections,” paliwanag pa ni Galvez.
