MALACAÑANG said 600,000 doses of the Sinovac vaccine will be arriving in the country on Feb. 23, 2021.
Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque said 100,000 doses were donated by the Chinese government to the Department of National Defense (DND).
The Sinovac vaccine is still awaiting Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for emergency use in the Philippines.
However Roque said the FDA has issued a compassionate use license for 10,000 doses of Sinopharm, which were administered to members of the Presidential Security Group (PSG).
He said the families of the PSG personnel might also benefit from the vaccines.
Some PSG personnel earlier confirmed receiving the candidate vaccine developed by Sinopharm, a state-owned Chinese pharmaceutical company.
For his part, National Task Force Against Covid-19 deputy chief implementer Vince Dizon said delivery of the 117,000 doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine will be a bit delayed. But they are still expected to arrive within the month.
