When will the COVID-19 vaccines be available to me? 

The government is currently in the initial phase of vaccine rollout with the availability of Sinovac, AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Sputnik V, and Janssen vaccines in the country. Likewise, the country is in the advanced stages of negotiations with the COVAX Facility and various other vaccine manufacturers.

The national government is working in partnership with our local governments to get the vaccines to you. Your local government unit will arrange for the registration and scheduling of vaccination

COVID-19 Vaccination Prioritization Framework

The prioritization framework for COVID-19 vaccination based on the World Health Organization (WHO) Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) on Immunization, together with the recommendations of independent bodies of experts including the Interim National Immunization Technical Advisory Group (iNITAG) and the Technical Advisory Group (TAG), was formulated due to the limited global supply of COVID-19 vaccine products. With the guidance of this principle, the Philippine National Deployment and Vaccination Plan formulated strategies and contingencies to ensure the equitable distribution of vaccine products for all Filipinos.

Why do we need to have prioritization?

– To reduce mortality

– To preserve the health system capacity of the country

WHY WILL THE PRIORITIZED GROUPS GET THE VACCINE FIRST? HOW WILL HEALTHCARE FACILITIES BE FURTHER SUB-PRIORITIZED? WILL STUDENTS FROM THE DIFFERENT MEDICAL FIELDS WHO ARE PRACTICING IN HEALTH FACILITIES BE INCLUDED IN THE PRIORITY GROUPS FOR VACCINATION? ARE THE NON MEDICAL PERSONNEL WHO ARE WITHIN THE HOSPITAL INCLUDED IN THE ELIGIBLE PRIORITY GROUPS? IS THE VACCINE FREE FOR PRIORITY GROUPS? HOW ARE THE LGUS PRIORITIZED IN THE VACCINE DEPLOYMENT PROGRAM OF THE GOVERNMENT? WHEN WILL VACCINES BE AVAILABLE FOR THOSE NOT PART OF THE PRIORITY GROUPS? WILL VACCINE PRICES BE STRICTLY CONTROLLED FOR POPULATIONS WHO ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR FREE VACCINATION? WHAT IS THE REQUIRED AGE FOR VACCINATION? WHY ARE CHILDREN NOT INCLUDED IN THE ELIGIBLE GROUPS TO BE VACCINATED? CHECK THE FAQS: REGISTRATION AND MASTERLISTING

WHY IS IT NECESSARY TO CREATE AND MAINTAIN A MASTERLIST? To prepare the country for the COVID-19 vaccination program, a masterlist will: (1) provide basis for identification of target eligible groups for vaccination and identification of priority areas for registration of eligible individuals; (2) ensure uniqueness of individuals in the vaccine administration plan; and (3) provide input to operational planning especially for costing and allocation of resources.

WHAT PLATFORM WILL BE USED FOR THE MASTERLIST? The COVID-19 Vaccine Information Management System – Immunization Registry (VIMS-IR) shall be the official platform for masterlisting and pre-registration of individuals for COVID-19 vaccination. The VIMS platform shall also enable use of information and communications technology for scheduling, notification, and vaccination reminders.

WILL THE COVID-19 VIMS-IR BE USED TO MONITOR THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY BEEN VACCINATED? The Vaccine Information Management System – Immunization Registry (VIMS-IR) is used only for masterlisting and as the registry of eligible population. Health facilities and vaccination centers upload their data or linelist of those who were vaccinated to the VIMS – Vaccine Administration System (VAS).
