The Department of National Defense said Tuesday it is ready to begin its COVID-19 inoculation program for DND personnel once China s donation of 100,000 doses doses of the Sinovac vaccine arrives.
The Philippine government was not required to sign an indemnification agreement with Chinese company Sinovac to receive its COVID-19 vaccines, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque says.
The Department of Health on Monday announced 2,288 new COVID-19 infections, raising the nationwide total to 563,456, as six laboratories failed to submit data on time.
(Bloomberg) The Philippines approved Sinovac Biotech Ltd.’s coronavirus vaccines for emergency use, ahead of the expected delivery of 600,000 doses.
