The Philippines’ leading airline, Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB), has airlifted 76,935,820 COVID-19 vaccine doses across the country, reaching another delivery milestone as the government pushes for the administration of fourth dose.
The fourth dose may now be administered to adults aged 50 years old and above, and individuals aged 18 years to 49 years with comorbidities.
Since March 2021, CEB has transported life-saving vaccines to 31 provinces namely: Bacolod, Basilan, Boracay, Bohol, Butuan, Cagayan de Oro, Cauayan, Cebu, Coron, Cotabato, Davao, Dipolog, Dumaguete, General Santos, Iloilo, Jolo, Kalibo, Legazpi, Masbate, Naga, Ozamiz, Pagadian, Puerto Princesa, Roxas, San Jose, Siargao, Tacloban, Tuguegarao, Tawi-Tawi, Virac, and Zamboanga.
Among the provinces, Legazpi received the highest number of vaccine shipments, followed by Cagayan de Oro, Tacloban, and Zamboanga.
“We support our country’s continuous fight against COVID-19 through the safe and timely delivery of vaccine doses across our domestic network,” said Alex Reyes, Chief Strategy Officer at Cebu Pacific. “Our assistance to the government is meant to make booster shots as conveniently available as possible.”
All vaccines were subjected to the most stringent procedures to guarantee potency and efficacy until its arrival at the designated stations.
CEB has attained 100% vaccination rate for its active flying crew through its very own employee vaccination program, JG Summit COVID Protect, and various partnerships with local government units in the country. About 95% of the active flying crew have been boosted to ensure the continued safety of employees and passengers.
