The delivery of 600,000 doses of Sinovac vaccines, donated by China, will arrive to the Philippines on 28 February, allowing it to kick off its inoculation program from next week. The Philippines is the last Southeast Asian country to receive its initial set of vaccines.
The emergency use authorization for Sinovac was given earlier this week.
Aside from Sinovac, 10,000 doses of a vaccine developed by China’s Sinopharm is also scheduled to arrive soon. Doses from AstraZeneca will arrive in March 2021.
