Galvez: LGUs need not buy add’l vaccination shots, as local supplies are enough COVID19VaccinePH
Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. on Saturday said local government units no longer need to buy additional COVID-19 vaccine doses for their constituents as the country already has a substantive supply.
“The country has been receiving an average of 1 million COVID-19 vaccines daily since the start of October. And once we receive them, they are immediately deployed to LGUs and other implementing units throughout the country. There is no time wasted,” Galvez said in a statement. “As I have been telling our LGUs over the past several weeks, vaccine supply is no longer a problem for our country. Our main concern at this point is how to get these COVID-19 jabs into the arms of as many Filipinos as quickly as possible,” Galvez said.
