MANDALUYONG CITY -- As the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) continues to play a major role in the National COVID-19 Vaccination Initiative, the humanitarian organization has received yesterday, 16 August 2021, new supply of Pfizer vaccines and Sinovac vaccines from the National Government.

"Mabisa ang lahat ng bakuna at nakakaligtas ito ng buhay. Hinihikayat ko ang lahat ng Pilipino na magpabakuna na ngayon, ito ang ating solution sa COVID-19," reiterates PRC Chairman aned CEO Sen. Richard Gordon.

"We have received today 10,530 doses (1,755 vials) of Pfizer vaccines and 20,000 doses of Sinovac. Right now, our Pfizer vaccines are in our ultra-low freezer located at the PRC PLMC Bakuna Center, while we have divided our Sinovac vaccines into two locations - the PRC Blood Bank Tower and PRC PLMC Bakuna Center refrigerator," said PRC Health Services Manager Mark Abrigo.
