The Covax Facility is set to replace at least 3.6 million donated Covid-19 vaccine doses that already expired, said Department of Health Secretary Francisco Duque III.“So, yes sir, papalitan po yan. Ire-replace ng COVAX Facility ,” the Health chief told President Duterte during the “Talk to the People” program.
To note, the COVAX Facility is a global vaccine-sharing platform that “aims to accelerate the development of Covid-19 vaccines, and guarantee fair and equitable access to these vaccines even with the scarce global supply.” “Yung COVAX, meron po silang stockpile ng mga bakuna with longer shelf life…Yung mga nag-expire na sa atin, umabot na ng mga about 3.6 million doses, which is just about 1.46 percent of our total inventory ng bakuna ,” he said.
