As expected, we ran out of Covid-19 vaccines. It did not take long to happen. We simply did not have a lot to begin with.
Now, we wait for our next allocation from Manila. Again, it will not be much, perhaps even less than what we got when we grandly announced a rollout. The news is that only 500,000 doses of Sinovac arrived from China last week. How much will our share be? Go figure. “Rollout” was a misnomer.
But do not despair. More doses will be coming as vaccine manufacturers ramp up production to meet the world demand and still satisfy the greed of nations like the United States that have been hoarding millions of doses that could have been put to use and saved thousands of lives elsewhere.
