The vaccination of children ages 5 to 11 years has been moved to Monday, February 7, due to the delay in the delivery of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines to be used in the rollout. The rollout was supposed to have been launched today, February 4.

A joint statement from the Department of Health (DoH) and the National Task Force Against Covid-19 (NTF) said the first shipment of around 700,000 doses of the reformulated vaccines will arrive on Friday night.
