PH ranks 8th in ASEAN vaccine rollout
The Philippines ranks eighth among 10 Southeast Asian nations in terms of vaccinating its whole population and second in vaccine deployment against COVID-19.
According to international think tank Our World in Data, the country has vaccinated only about 4.23 percent of its total population as of June 8. However, vaccine czar Carlito Galvez Jr. said the country is expecting to ramp up its daily vaccination rate when vaccine supply normalizes.
The National Task Force against COVID-19 is expecting 12 million doses to arrive in July and about 17 million in August.
