When will the COVID-19 vaccines be available to me?

• The government is currently in the initial phase of vaccine

rollout with the availability of Sinovac, AstraZeneca, Pfizer,
Sputnik V, and Janssen vaccines in the country. Likewise, the
country is in the advanced stages of negotiations with the
COVAX Facility and various other vaccine manufacturers.

• The national government is working in partnership with our
local governments to get the vaccines to you. Your local
government unit will arrange for the registration and
scheduling of vaccination
COVID-19 Vaccination Prioritization Framework

 
• The prioritization framework for COVID-19 vaccination based on
the World Health Organization (WHO) Strategic Advisory Group of
Experts (SAGE) on Immunization, together with the
recommendations of independent bodies of experts including the
Interim National Immunization Technical Advisory Group (iNITAG)
and the Technical Advisory Group (TAG), was formulated due to the
limited global supply of COVID-19 vaccine products. With the
guidance of this principle, the Philippine National Deployment and
Vaccination Plan formulated strategies and contingencies to ensure
the equitable distribution of vaccine products for all Filipinos.
•  
Why do we need to have prioritization? 

 To reduce mortality

To preserve the health system capacity of the country
