MANILA, Philippines — Citing a shortage in syringes, the government is cutting back its target for this week’s three-day National Vaccination Days against COVID-19 from 15 million jabs to only nine million.

 

National Task Force against COVID-19 (NTF) chief implementer Carlito Galvez Jr. and Presidential Adviser for COVID-19 Response Vince Dizon made the announcement in a joint statement yesterday.

 

“As we are finalizing the preparations for this massive movement across the 16 regions outside Metro Manila, there is currently a shortage in ancillary supplies, particularly syringes for the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines and other logistical challenges,” they said.
