PHL to get 30M doses of Novavax
AROUND 30 million doses of the Novavax vaccine for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), to be manufactured in India, will be sent to the Philippines next year.
Secretary Carlito G. Galvez Jr., appointed head of the government’s COVID-19 vaccine procurement and distribution program, said they are securing the deal this month with Novavax, Inc., a pharmaceutical company based in the United States.
Novavax will team up with the Serum Institute of India, which will produce the vaccines next year.
“They assured they will give us 30 million doses,” Mr. Galvez said in a televised meeting on Monday with the COVID-19 task force and President Rodrigo R. Duterte.
