A total of 539,430 doses of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine donated by South Korea arrived in the Philippines on Tuesday.
The additional vaccine supply arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 past before 9 p.m.
The country has began its three-day nationwide vaccination drive on Monday.
At least 2.5 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine were administered on the first day of the three-day nationwide COVID-19 drive. The government had sought to administer three million doses per day for three consecutive days.
The 2.5 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines administered on November 29, however, are 2.5 times more than the country’s daily average.
The country officially rolled out its vaccination program on March 1. -NB, GMA News
