The DOH announcement came almost two months after Pfizer released a study showing its vaccine “demonstrated 100 percent efficacy and robust antibody responses” in the 12-15 age group. In his report, Galvez also said that the Philippines had breached the six-million mark of administered COVID-19 vaccine doses. Among those inoculated were 1.3 million health-care workers, 1.5 million senior citizens, 1.4 million individuals with comorbidities, and 12,200 economic front-liners. More than 1.5 million were now fully protected after receiving two doses of the COVID-19 vaccines, he noted. On supply, Galvez reported that the country would get 11.06 million doses this month, including the one million from Sinovac Biotech that arrived on Sunday.
