MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines purchased more Western-made vaccines against COVID-19 than those made in China, the National Task Force (NTF) against COVID-19 said yesterday. Dr. Teodoro Herbosa, NTF medical adviser, pointed this out in refuting claims that the Philippines favored the China-made Sinovac brand. He said the government bought 40 million doses from Pfizer, 20 million from Moderna and 17 million from AstraZeneca for a total of about 77 million jabs. “We have bought more Western vaccines than Chinese-made vaccines,” he added.
