@KYli Yup our Filipino Chinese Association in action with the help of the Chinese embassy, I will be inoculated mid April instead of this week due to late action of our FDA. $40 for 2 doses. Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry Inc. (FFCCCII) president Henry Lim Bon Liong is a student of Yuan Longping the father of Chinese hybrid rice.
$40 for 2 doses? US dollar? Fortunately I live in Cambodia, our vaccination program up to now is free of charge.
Unlike Cambodia which has a very low coronavirus cases. Both Indonesia and Philippines have been hardest hit by coronavirus in SEA. Businesses can't rely upon their government for vaccination as it would take too long. Their government have decided to allow companies and groups to import vaccines to speed up the vaccination progress. So that companies can get their factories running without interruption and businesses and groups can get things back to normal early. Government on the other hand won't need to pay and procure for the vaccines.
@SteelBird yes like @KYli said we can't wait, per capita basis we are richer than your country but your gov't services is better than ours, there is something wrong with the way our so called democracy has been functioning.
Just think, it was less than 10 years ago that you could patent the discovery of genetic sequences.
