The DDC under the Ministry of Public Health is overseeing the Covid-19 vaccine campaign due to begin next month. The first shots will be available next month when the first 200,000 of two million doses ordered from China arrive. However, Dr Opas said a national programme won't begin until May when 26 million doses of vaccines purchased from AstraZeneca's collaboration with Oxford University arrive. Negotiations are at an advanced level for another 35 million doses to be shipped in soon after. So we can expect this [Covid-19] vaccine only to reduce fatalities and relieve the symptoms.
