Health Secretary Francisco Duque III, National Task Force (NTF) Against COVID-19 deputy chief implementer Vince Dizon, Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Huang Xilian, Senate Committee on Health chair Senator Christopher Lawrence Go, and other officials from the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Infectious Diseases (IATF) and Department of Health (DOH) welcomed the arrival of the additional CoronaVac doses at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).
A commercial plane from the Philippine Airlines (PAL) touched down at NAIA Terminal 2 in Pasay City around 9 a.m. as it became the first local carrier to fetch and deliver COVID-19 vaccines in the country.
The 400,000 CoronaVac doses, developed by Sinovac Biotech, brought the total vaccine donation of China to one million after it earlier gave for free 600,000 vials to the Philippines on February 28, 2021.
