Senator calls on DOH to fast track release of vaccines still in gov’t facilitiesMANILA, Philippines — Sen. Nancy Binay on Thursday urged the Department of Health to swiftly release all COVID-19 jabs still in storage facilities to help meet increased demand as the government starts vaccinating economic frontliners. According to Binay, vaccination centers are closing in Metro Manila due to late deliveries from the DOH. "As of this week, there are still many vaccines stored in DOH storage facilities so it seems hard to accept that nothing can be given to vaccination centers in Manila, Marikina and Antipolo," she added. "There are another 2 million doses of Pfizer coming... plus 1 million each of Sputnik and Sinovac. I hope the DOH will release and release the vaccines immediately so that our countrymen can benefit from them immediately," Binay said.
