“Majority of the allocation will be given to the provinces, to those affected regions… that have been heavily afflicted by COVID-19 and areas that have never been reached by Pfizer.We want all municipalities [to] have some sort of dry run so that when majority of the Pfizer will come (sic) by October — more or less 10 million of which will be delivered each month during October, November, and December — they are already knowledgeable of how to handle critical supplies like the vaccine of Pfizer,” pahayag ni Galvez.
