The Department of Health (DOH) on Friday said the second-generation COVID-19 vaccines or bivalent vaccines that protect against the Omicron variant would be available in the country by the end of December. READ:
At the press briefing, DOH Officer-in-Charge Maria Rosario Vergeire said they are still in the process of negotiations with vaccine manufacturers Moderna and Pfizer regarding the procurement of the bivalent vaccines.
“Now with these two, we are estimating na ang earliest na magkaroon tayo hopefully ay by the end of the December or first quarter of 2023 kasi kailangan pa to go through the different clearances for regulation itong mga bakunang ito,” she added. “Yung sa Go Negosyo yung private group ni sir Joey Concepcion they are looking at 10 million doses pero nagsu-survey sila kung sino talaga yung magpapabakuna kasi ayaw natin maulit yung wastage na nangyari before,” she said.
“As of now ang alam ko, wala pang nag-aapply sa FDA. It takes at least a month or so para maevaluate after application and of course yung procurement shipping process medyo matatagalan pa. We don’t know baka as we speak nagaapply na ngayon pero as of last week wala pang application for bivalent vaccine,” she said.
