Inoculating the vaccine for the citizens in the Philippines may start around March or April next year, Health Secretary Francisco Duque III said on Monday.
"We’ve done some scenario analysis under the leadership of Sec. (Carlito Jr) Galvez and I think the best case scenario would be about the end of the first quarter of 2021 or about the start of second quarter of next year," Duque told ANC's Headstart.
"A lot of factors will have to be taken into consideration to be able to more definitively set schedules for actual distribution, deployment, and inoculation of our people within our priority list," he said.
According to Duque, the government is currently looking to build a portfolio with different vaccines depending on the availability and evaluation experts.
He also obligates to be one of the first to acquire the vaccine to encourage the public in getting themselves inoculated.
