Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, December 16) The deal for the Philippines to procure 10 million doses of Pfizer vaccines is not yet scrapped despite the fact that someone dropped the ball, which put the agreement in peril, a Philippine envoy said.
Philippine Ambassador to the United States Jose Manuel Babe Romualdez on Wednesday made the clarification following the controversial tweet of Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. that they were able to secure millions of vaccine doses to arrive in the country by January 2021, but plans were foiled because someone dropped the ball.
Romualdez said the vaccine arrival will most likely be delayed by a few months because other nations were able to finalize deals earlier. But he said the deal for Pfizer vaccines is in progress, and so are procurement agreements for US-manufactured Moderna.
