Delivery of Covid-19 bivalent jabs facing ‘slight delay’—DOH

There is a “slight delay” in the arrival of Covid-19 bivalent vaccines in the country, the Department of Health (DOH) said.

“So yung bivalent vaccines, nagkakaroon lang tayo ng kaunting delays ,” said DOH Undersecretary and Officer-in-Charge Maria Rosario Vergeire in a press briefing on Tuesday, March 14.

“Ngayon ito lang po yung hinihingan natin ng guidance coming from the Office of the President if we can enter into this agreement with this immunity from liability and indemnification clauses na nakapasok dyan para mag go ahead na ang ating mga transaksyon at ang pakikipag-usap ,” said Vergeire. During a recent Senate hearing, the DOH reported that the country’s vaccine wastage already reached 44 million.
