The people of the Philippines have opted for the Russian Sputnik V vaccine, but did not accept the vaccine offered by other countries and received the Russian vaccine last night. Earlier, 4 million doses of the Chinese vaccine were ineffective, so it was decided to buy the Russian vaccine.
Initially, the president's office said it was receiving 15,000 doses. In addition to Manila, the vaccine is planned in three cities. A total of 20 million doses of the vaccine have been ordered and certified, and the production of the vaccine by the Gemalai Research Institute in Russia seems to be busy day and night.
The Philippines has reported 17,354 deaths and more than a million infections.
