MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines on Wednesday received 400,000 additional doses of Sinovac’s COVID-19 vaccine CoronaVac.
The doses arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) aboard a Philippine Airlines flight past 7 a.m.
The donated CoronaVac vaccines were in addition to the initial 600,000 doses that arrived in the country last February 28.
