NTF: PH vaccinates 11M Filipinos vs. COVID-19

The National Task Force said the Philippines had vaccinated at least 11 million Filipinos against COVID-19 as of July 2.

“Sa loob lamang po ng apat na araw, mula Lunes hanggang kahapon, one million doses po ang na-i-jab natin. At dahil po diyan, 11 million na po ang ating jabs na na-administer sa ating mga kababayan,” Deputy Chief Implemented Vince Dizon said.

(We were able to administer one million doses in the last four days until yesterday, so we reached the 11 million mark.)

“Kung magkakaroon pa tayo ng mas maraming supply ay nakakasiguro tayo na [mas] marami pa tayong maija-jab sa mga susunod na linggo at buwan,” Dizon added.

(We will be able to inoculate more people in the coming weeks and months as vaccine supply arrives.)

The Philippines has received 17 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines from various brands such as Sinovac, AstraZeneca, Pfizer-BioNTech, Sputnik V, and Moderna.

Meanwhile, the administration of vaccines ordered by the private sector for workers and members of the Filipino-Chinese community is increasing after the arrival of the vaccine they procured in recent weeks.

In Parañaque, workers and members of the Filipino-Chinese community were given more than 500,000 doses of Sinovac ordered by a group of Filipino-Chinese businessmen.
