MANILA, Philippines —The Department of Health (DOH) warned yesterday that the country’s purchase of bivalent vaccines may no longer push through if the state of calamity due to COVID-19 will not be extended.

 

“If the extension will not be approved, we can still continue with the COVID-19 vaccination program using existing doses, considering their validity is hinged on their Emergency Use Authorizations. But we cannot procure additional doses, including the bivalent vaccines,” it said in a statement.?

 

Bivalent vaccines are new generation jabs that target specific variants of COVID-19, notably the more transmissible Omicron.
