WASHINGTON The United States has started shipping 3.2 million doses of Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine to the Philippines, the White House said on Thursday, as Washington continues its coronavirus diplomacy by sharing doses with developing nations.
“We are beginning to ship over 3.2 million doses of J&J to the Philippines today,” White House spokesman Kevin Munoz said on Twitter.
The Philippines so far has administered at least 13,442,299 doses, enough for just 6.2% of its population based on a two-dose regimen, according to Reuters data. It has registered 1,485,457 infections and 26,232 coronavirus-related deaths since the pandemic began.
