The Philippines has enough funds to finance its vaccination program against the coronavirus disease 2019, National Action Plan Against COVID-19 deputy chief implementer Vivencio "Vince" Dizon said Wednesday, even as a significant portion will be secured from loans.
"Absolutely we do have enough funds for the target number of doses and number of vaccinations with everything, all in na po 'yun -- services, ancillary, supplies, and equipment, etcetera," he said during the Kapihan sa Manila Bay Forum streamed online.
The Philippines has allocated some P82.5 billion for the procurement of the vaccines, as the DOF earlier said the amount includes P40 billion coming from multilateral agencies, P20 billion from domestic sources, and P13.2 billion from bilateral agreements.
