First, the good news. Manila led the way in the formal vaccination roll out of the first batch of the anti-COVID-19 vaccines that arrived in the country. It was held at the Philippine General Hospital, where PGH Director Gap Legaspi himself became the first recipient of the Coronavac made and donated by China’s Sinovac
Biotech.
Later during the day, Manila was fortunate enough to receive 3,000 Coronavac vaccines from the national government and for this, we profusely thank President Rodrigo Duterte, National Task Force (NTF) Deputy Chief Implementer and Testing Czar Vince Dizon, vaccine czar Carlito Galvez, Jr., Department of Health Secretary Francisco Duque III and the DOH family for being highly instrumental in the donation of vaccines given to the city.
