CAVITE - The provincial government of Cavite is coordinating with British-Swedish biopharmaceutical company AstraZeneca to procure vaccines worth P750 million to protect 1.5 million of its residents from coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
In a Facebook post on Monday (March 1), Governor Jonvic C. Remulla said the AstraZeneca vaccines will be provided for Caviteños aged 18 to 59.
