The inoculation of youths ages 12 to 15 can start once the Pfizer vaccine ordered by the Philippines arrives, Malacañang said on Thursday.

Palace spokesman Harry Roque Jr. said Pfizer's tozinameran is the only vaccine the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized for use on the particular age bracket.
