COVID-19 VACCINE PROGRAM 10 MUST KNOWS for EVERYONE
By the end ofthis presentation,the participant should be able to:
COVID-19 Vaccination Program
Specific Objectives
To launch a national vaccination program against COVID-19
To provide free and effective, high quality vaccines against SARS-CoV-2, prioritizing those most-at-risk and most vulnerable populations
General ObjectiveTo save lives and mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
COVID-19 VACCINE PROGRAM 10 MUST KNOWS for EVERYONE
Vaccine Benefits● prevent symptomatic infection● prevent severe infection ● prevent transmission
Herd ImmunityAt least 70% of population needs to be vaccinated.
1. Why do we need to get vaccinated?
COVID-19 VACCINE PROGRAM 10 MUST KNOWS for EVERYONE
Herd Immunity- indirect protection
from infection conferred to a susceptible individuals when a sufficiently large proportion of immune individuals exist in a population
COVID-19 VACCINE PROGRAM 10 MUST KNOWS for EVERYONE
There is currently a limited supply of vaccines all over the world. In fact,
80% of global stocks have been bought by high income countries
already. Because no single company can provide for vaccines for 110
million of us, the government is in talks with 7 manufacturers:
AstraZeneca, Gamaleya, Janssen, Moderna, Novavax, Pfizer , Sinovac
Rest assured that only vaccines that have received Philippine FDA’s
Emergency Use Authorization or EUA will be bought and used. The
EUA provides the assurance that it has been thoroughly evaluated and
recommended by our various independent expert panels.
2. Which vaccines will we use?
INDEPENDENT
EXPERTS
COVID-19 VACCINE PROGRAM 10 MUST KNOWS for EVERYONE
Should the government allow clinical trials? Should
we consider it?
Philippine FDA
Is it safe, efficacious?Do benefits outweigh the risks?
Vaccines Expert Panel
(VEP)
National Immunization Technical Advisory Group (NITAG)
How should it be delivered to the people?
National Adverse Events Following Immunization Committee (NAEFIC)
If there are adverse events, is it caused by the vaccine?
Health Technology Assessment Council (HTAC)
Should we buy it?
Who are the Expert Groups and what do they do?
COVID-19 VACCINE PROGRAM 10 MUST KNOWS for EVERYONE
● Is it safe and
efficacious?
● Do benefits
outweigh the
risks?
Vaccine Development & Approval
COVID-19 VACCINE PROGRAM 10 MUST KNOWS for EVERYONE
During a pandemic, an assessment
is made if emergency use of a
vaccine is justified.
Two questions need to be answered:
Is it safe and
efficacious?
Do benefits
outweigh the
risks?
Vaccine Deployment & Approval
COVID-19 VACCINE PROGRAM 10 MUST KNOWS for EVERYONE
Emergency Use Authorization
COVID-19 VACCINE PROGRAM 10 MUST KNOWS for EVERYONE
Conditions for an EUA issuance (EO No. 121)
● based on evidence, vaccine may be effective against COVID-19
● known and potential benefits outweighs the known and potential risks
● No adequate, approved and available alternative to the vaccine, and
● Undertaking to complete the vaccine development process
Post Authorization Monitoring
● EUA holder required to complete pharmacovigilance obligations
Valid only during the Emergency due to COVID-19 and may be revoked
3. How do I ensure that
the vaccines I get are
authentic
Only COVID-19 vaccines with PhilippineFDA certification and are transported understrict cold chain conditions are able toprovide full protection for those who arevaccinated.

Cold Storage Facility3) -70℃
Vaccination Distribution
COVID-19 VACCINE PROGRAM 10 MUST KNOWS for EVERYONE
● Maintenance of most
critical essential services
● Direct reduction of
morbidity and mortality
● Substantially control
transmission
● Minimize disruption of
social, economic and
security functions.
● Resumption to near
normal
5. What are the goals of prioritizing who gets the vaccine first?
Primary Goal: Secondary Goal: Tertiary Goal:
COVID-19 VACCINE PROGRAM 10 MUST KNOWS for EVERYONE
Priority Eligible Group A
(WHO SAGE)
Priority Eligible Group B
(WHO SAGE)
Priority Eligible Group C
(WHO SAGE)
1: Frontline Health Workers Teachers, Social Workers
All remaining Filipino
Citizens.
2: Indigent Senior Citizens Other Government Workers
3: Remaining Senior Citizens
Other essential workers outside health,
education, social welfare sectors (e.g.
agriculture, food industry, transportation,
tourism)
4: Remaining Indigent Population
Socio-demographic groups at significantly
higher risk other than Senior Citizens and
Indigent Population (e.g. Persons Deprived of
Liberty, Persons with Disability, Filipinos living
in high-density areas)
5: Uniformed personnel (PNP, AFP,
PCG, BFP, CAFGU) Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs)
Other Remaining Workforce
Note: Other target groups to be considered will depend on the development of scientific evidences are: Persons with comorbidities (due to their higher risk), disadvantaged populations (e.g. women & children, pregnant and lactating women). These groups can be ranked higher in the priority.

Vaccination
Post-vaccination Monitoring,
Surveillance and Recording
✔ Observe the patient for 30 mins to 1 hour and watch out for any reaction✔ Monitor vital signs every 15
minutes. ✔ Respond and give first aid to
patients with reactions✔ Refer to hospital if further
management needed

Vaccination Procedure
COVID-19 VACCINE PROGRAM 10 MUST KNOWS for EVERYONE
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 as well as identifying
vaccination sites. Please wait for specific instructions and
announcements from your mayor or governor.
6. When and where will I get
vaccinated?
COVID-19 VACCINE PROGRAM 10 MUST KNOWS for EVERYONE
Critical Planning Steps done by DOH in coordination with Local Government Units (LGUs)
6. Identify gaps in cold chain capacity
3. Identify the number of
supervisors, vaccination
teams, AEFI/AESI composite
teams and other personnel
needed and available for the
vaccination campaign
2. Identify the implementing
units in you areas, and the
number of vaccination
posts/sites, and plot in an
operational spot map
1.Determine the number
of eligible population for
COVID-19 vaccination in
your area
4. Assign teams and eligible populationto an implementing unit / vaccination post
5. Estimate the vaccine requirement and supplies needed
