Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, February 6) More Black Hawk helicopters to be acquired by the military will be used to bring vaccines to far-flung areas, the Department of National Defense said Saturday.
“They can and will be used in airlifting relief goods and first responders during disasters, as well as ferry supplies such as perishable vaccines and medicines to far-flung areas that are difficult to reach by land,” the DND said in a statement.
This assurance came as the country is expected to start its COVID-19 vaccine rollout this March.
