MANILA, Philippines — According to Health Secretary Francisco Duque III, the government would send Covid-19 vaccines that are about to expire to countries with low immunization coverage.

Duque stated in a televised public conference that they are considering donating life-saving vaccines to Cambodia, Myanmar, and other African countries.

“Maganda naman iyang layunin na iyan para makatulong din tayo sa mga kapatid natin mula sa mga ibang bansa na namamayagpag pa rin ang Covid-19, but ang supply ng bakuna ay kulang na kulang (That’s a good cause so we can

The National Vaccination Operation Center, on the other hand, is currently determining the amount and kind of vaccines to donate.

AstraZeneca, a pharmaceutical company, has approved the shelf life extension of its Covid-19 vaccines, according to Duque.

“However, ang FDA [Food and Drug Administration] na lamang ang inaantay natin para maaprubahan iyong extension ng (We’re just waiting for the FDA to grant a three-month extension of) shelf life,” he explained.

Over 70% of the Philippines’ target population has been vaccinated against the coronavirus. The national government is holding its fourth national vaccination push from March 10 to 12, with the goal of inoculating 1.8 million people.

Its concentration is on the A2 population, or senior citizens, as well as places with poor vaccination rates, such as the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, Central Visayas, Soccsksargen, and Bicol Region.
