April 12, 2021 ONLY 32 out of the 134,160 doses of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) vaccines received in Central Visayas were wasted, the Department of Health regional office (DOH 7) said.
DOH 7 spokesperson Dr. Mary Jean Loreche said they will make sure that no more vaccines would go to waste.
“We are looking forward to minimizing wastage. We are very much careful in handling the vaccines,” she said.
She said 24 AstraZeneca doses were spoiled because the vials had been opened but the intended recipients did not turn up at the vaccination area.
Each vial contains 10 doses. Once opened, the vaccine must be used in less than six hours.
