Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr., vaccine czar and chief implementer of the National Task Force (NTF) Against COVID-19, said Wednesday night, April 28, that letters of intent have already been sent by Health Secretary Francisco Duque III to Washington and Jerusalem.
“Right now Mr. President, we are just having a hard time securing the volume [of vaccines] in the first and second quarter. But I already talked to [Philippine] Ambassador [to United States Jose Manuel] Romualdez and he is now devising a plan so that the AstraZeneca vaccines from the US will be released to us. Secretary Duque wrote two letters of intent including one for Israel so we can access the excess [vaccines] of these countries,” Galvez told President Duterte in a televised Cabinet meeting.
