VACCINE czar Carlito Galvez Jr. said on Wednesday that the government has enough vaccines for the inoculation of children that begins on Friday.

'The bulk of our deliveries this fourth quarter, as you have seen in our recent arrivals, are from Pfizer and Moderna. These are the same vaccines that will be used to inoculate our younger population,' Galvez said in a statement.
