The Philippines on Thursday night received nearly one million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine.
The 936,000 doses were procured by the national government through the World Bank.
The Philippines has received about 241 million Covid-19 vaccine doses since February 2021.
More than 72 percent of the country’s target population are considered fully vaccinated against Covid-19, but only 12.92 percent have been boosted as of March 31.
The government is aiming to have 100 percent of the Filipino population fully vaccinated by June.
The country averaged 389 new daily infections from March 21 to 27. John Ezekiel J. Hirro
