Duque tells LGUs: Ramp up jabs for A2, A3Senior citizen residents of Baranagay 672 in Manila are screened and inoculated with AstraZeneca vaccine against COVID-19 by members of the Manila Health Department on Sunday (March 28, 2021). As of the weekend, the government has about 10 million doses in national warehouses that are waiting to be distributed, while about 40 million doses are due for administering. “As I have been telling our LGUs over the past several weeks, vaccine supply is no longer a problem for our country. We cannot scale up our national vaccination output if we just settle with our current jab rate,” he said. Of these shipments, more than 58.7 million doses were procured by the government, 24.3 million doses were donations from the COVAX Facility, 7.9 million were purchased by LGUs and the private sector, and 3.6 million doses were donations from bilateral partners.
