MANILA, Philippines — Most of the coronavirus shots expiring this July were not bought by the national government, the Department of Health and the National Task Force Against COVID-19 said.

 

“Most of the doses that will expire by July 2022 were either donated by other countries, or procured by local governments and the private sector,” they said in a joint statement.

 

They said that since there was no guarantee that vaccine manufacturers could deliver enough doses, so “decisions were made to secure as many doses as could be obtained from wherever they could be sourced.”
