Cebu Pacific safely transports 75,880 vaccines to 5 provinces over the week

Cebu Pacific (CEB) has safely transported Covid-19 vaccines to 5 provinces over the week, with Iloilo as the new destination, aiding the ongoing distribution of vaccines across the country.

A total of 75,880 doses were delivered: a batch of 28,880 for Tuguegarao, 2,000 for Tacloban on May 20, 10,000 each for Iloilo and Cagayan de Oro on May 24, 15,000 to Zamboanga on May 25, 2021, and another 10,000 doses for Iloilo today on May 27.

“We are grateful for the opportunity to continue aiding in this national endeavor to transport vaccines across the Philippines through our widest domestic network.  We are committed to supporting the government’s vaccination rollout as we all work toward inoculating more Filipinos as soon as possible,” said Chief Commercial Officer Xander Lao.

Vaccines are reported to have been handled with the utmost care and stored and transported in temperature-specific refrigerated containers to help maintain potency up until their delivery.

Since March, CEB has flown over 2.5 million vaccine doses from China to Manila and over 1 million doses to 13 provinces in the country.
