In focusing for an immunization course of events prior to unveiling articulations, Sen. Risa Hontiveros told the Public Team Against Coronavirus, in the midst of a few postponements in the shipment of the seriously required pokes.
Four days past February 15th, which specialists recently said was the “characteristic date” for the scaled down rollout of Pfizer immunizations to medical clinics, there are no punches in transit and there is by all accounts no authority beginning date for the public authority’s vaccination program.
I hate hearing the NTF use the lack of global supply as an excuse when Bangladesh, Nepal, & Pakistan, also developing countries, have already begun their vaccination w/ Pfizer & AstraZeneca. Those are the same brands of vaccines we were supposed to have received by now.
