Around 391,000 doses of bivalent Covid-19 jabs are expected to arrive in June according to the DOH. These vaccines, which were supposed to arrive in May but were delayed due to “permits that have yet to be coordinated,” provide better protection against Covid-19 and its transmissible and immune-evasive variants.
“The Covid-19 Vaccine Pfizer bivalent shall be given as a third booster dose for individuals aged 18 years old and above belonging to priority groups A1 or healthcare workers and A2 or senior citizens at least four to six months after inoculation with a second booster dose,” said DOH.
