Govt orders 10M more Sinovac jabs

Vaccine czar Carlito Galvez Jr. said on Tuesday the government has purchased 10 million more doses of China-made Sinovac jabs as part of the intensified rollout of the national Covid-19 vaccination program.

"To ensure a steady supply, our negotiating team signed the purchase order for an additional 10 million doses of Sinovac because the first batch of 26 million has already been utilized," Galvez said, adding the government got the latest procurement at a lower price.
