LGUs vaccine distribution plan in place: Galvez

(File photo) MANILA - Vaccine czar Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. on Thursday advised the local government units (LGUs) outside Metro Manila not to worry about having sufficient vaccine supply in their areas as the government's distribution plan is already in place. "If they are lacking the supply, meron tayong tinatawag na 'day-to-last' na 'pagka five days na lang 'yung kanilang day-to-last -- we will provide another so magkakaroon sila (we will impose the day-to-last scheme that if their supply will last only for five days, that's the time we will provide another) supply good for 15 days or 20 days and then, if they finished jabbing in 10 days, another supply will be coming in," Galvez, also the chief implementer of National Task Force (NTF) against Covid-19, explained in an interview during the arrival of the oxygen concentrators donated by the Australian government. The government has set up vaccine distribution strategies according to the logistical and vaccine handling capacities of the areas, he said. Citing some challenges in the deployment, Galvez noted that these strategies will further prevent vaccine spoilage due to poor power supply, vaccine cold-storages, and jab expiration. "Our strategy is to deploy all the sensitive vaccine to the urban population wherein there is enough electricity and also there is enough cold-chain system," he said. He was referring to the proper storage necessities of highly sensitive vaccines that require sub-zero temperatures such Pfizer, Moderna, and Sputnik V. "We are slowly doing the deployment because we are looking at that possibility and we don't want wastage," he added. Galvez said the NTF as well as the Department of Health (DOH) is carefully adhering to President Rodrigo Duterte's order to strictly avoid vaccine spoilage. "Our DOH and CHD [Centers for Health Development], we are very careful and they make sure that the local government units have the capacity to handle vaccine, if not, we do a just-in-time deployment," he said. DOH Secretary Francisco Duque III said there are 15,000 doses of vaccine wastage due to mishandling of temperature requirements and transportation excursion. Duque said the recorded wastage stood at 0.025 percent out of the 53.8 million doses administered nationwide. Galvez likewise cited that the other countries have previously experienced about 1 to 4 percent of vaccine wastage in their stockpile. "We see that during the initial phase of the vaccination, many countries have even wasted more than that number," he said, noting that the country's vaccine wastage is minimal compared to other countries. Galvez said the government is expanding the country's vaccination program to other sectors as more Covid-19 vaccines are now being delivered. However, he said they won't disregard the prioritization of healthcare workers, senior citizens, and persons with comorbidities to reduce fatality rates. To date, the Philippines has administered a total of 53,838,248 doses of Covid-19 vaccines. (PNA) }

Higher Covid-19 vaccination turnout seen amid stable supply

(File photo) MANILA - Malacanang on Thursday expressed optimism that more Filipinos will get inoculated against the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) as the country continues to receive more vaccines. In an online press briefing, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said the Duterte administration is expecting a faster uptick in the vaccination turnout since the supply is no longer an issue. "So, sagana na po ngayon ang ating supply at inaasahan natin na mapapabilis natin ngayon ang ating pagbabakuna (So, we are expecting that we will be able to hasten the vaccination [in the country] since we have plenty of supply)," Roque said. Roque's statement came after the International Monetary Fund (IMF) raised worry that the allegedly "low" vaccination rate in the country might have a "very serious" impact on the economy. IMF Asia and Pacific department director Changyong Rhee on Tuesday said prioritizing the Covid-19 vaccination would help the Philippines recover from the pandemic-induced economic slump. According to the IMF's Regional Outlook report for Asia and Pacific published Tuesday, the Philippines, as well as Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand, are "still facing severe challenges from a resurgent virus and weakness in contact-intensive sectors." Roque ensured that the government is doing its best to ramp up its vaccination drive against Covid-19. The current administration, he said, hopes to administer 1 million doses of Covid-19 vaccine daily. "Kaya nga po pinabibilisan natin ang ating pagbabakuna (That is why we are ramping up our vaccination campaign)," Roque said. "Inaasahan po natin from 500, magiging 1 million iyan kung hindi 1.5 million daily (We expect that from 500,000, we will reach at least 1 million, if not 1.5 million jabs, daily)." As of Wednesday, more than 53,838,248 Covid-19 vaccine doses have already been administered nationwide. Around 523,179 doses of vaccine were administered just on Wednesday. About 24,876,889 individuals have already been fully vaccinated, while 28,961,359 others have received the first shot of the vaccine. (PNA) }
