A video from PTV’s Facebook page showed the arrival of a total of 797,940 doses of Pfizer-BioNTech’s vaccine at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 on Thursday night, October 7.
National vaccine czar Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. extended his gratitude to the U.S government as well as Pfizer for the successful delivery of the life-saving vaccines against COVID-19 in the country.
He stated that last night’s arrival of vaccines was one of the biggest shipments for the week.
“We have an average now of more or less 500k to 600,000 jabs per day. Last two days ago, we have rebounded to 628,000 jabs per day.” Galvez said.
According to the vaccine czar, the newly-arrived vaccines will be allocated to priority areas, such as major cities, Regions 3 and 4A, as well as areas of Region 10 and 6.
He also thanked the COVAX Facility and the US government for donating the biggest shipment of 994,000 vaccine doses on Wednesday, which were sent to Davao City and Cebu City.
Moreover, Galvez said another batch of Pfizer vaccines is set to arrive next week.
