Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, August 3) — Some three million more doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine donated by the United States arrived in the country on Tuesday.
The shipment containing 3,000,060 doses landed at the Villamor Air Base in Pasay City at around 5:30 p.m.
President Rodrigo Duterte, along with some members of the national pandemic response task force and the US embassy in Manila, personally welcomed the donations, which were coursed through the COVAX Facility co-led by the World Health Organization.
In his speech during the ceremonial turnover, Duterte said the vaccines will be allocated to indigent Filipinos.
