The Philippines is expecting most of its 17 million AstraZeneca Plc. Covid-19 vaccine orders manufactured in Thailand to arrive this year, following a brief delay in the initial shipments.
A batch of nearly 1.2 million AstraZeneca shots ordered by Philippine businesses will be shipped in mid-July rather than this month, according to presidential adviser for entrepreneurship Joey Concepcion, who’s leading the country’s private sector efforts to buy vaccines.
