MANILA, Philippines — About 20 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines from US biotechnology company Moderna are expected by the end of May or early June, Ambassador to the US Jose Manuel Romualdez said yesterday as the Philippines ramps up its vaccination program in the second quarter.
The Moderna vaccine has so far shown a 94 percent efficacy, higher than either that of Sinovac or AstraZeneca which arrived in the past week.
At a Laging Handa briefing, Romualdez said the Philippines is also likely to get 117,000 doses of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine from the COVAX Facility, initiated by the World Health Organization (WHO).
