Hello, Bulgarians! Alam n’yo bang kasunod ng matagumpay na pagkalap ng 17 milyong doses ng AstraZeneca vaccine sa ilalim ng programang ‘A Dose of Hope,’ patuloy ang pakikipag-usap ni Joey Concepcion, Presidential Adviser for Entrepreneurship at Go Negosyo founder, sa iba pang mga vaccine manufacturer. Kamakailan, naglunsad ng private sector briefing tungkol sa Novavax Vaccine si PA Concepcion at ang Go Negosyo na nilahukan naman ng higit 1,500 katao sa ilalim ng higit 800 na kumpanya—pinakamataas sa lahat ng vaccine briefing na naidaos na ng Go Negosyo.
“I’m glad that with our discussion with Kishore of Faberco, he has appointed Unilab to handle the private sector orders, while they handle the LGU and National Government orders. Unilab has set the minimum order at 200 doses with an option for smaller companies to consolidate among themselves which makes it more accessible especially for MSMEs. Now, our role here is to support Unilab in its efforts to get orders. We will endorse all orders to Unilab, our staff will take down the orders and help follow through on any issues with them. That is the role that the Go Negosyo’s ‘A Dose of Hope’ will be playing in this program with Faberco and Unilab—use our experience in the initial program with AstraZeneca to really make the Novavax vaccine accessible to as many private sectors who need it, especially our MSMEs,” saad ni Concepcion.
“We are brought together today for a specific purpose and that is to help the workforce, the most valuable asset of our companies, and to find solutions to protect against COVID-19. As the key drivers of the economy, safeguarding the health of our people through vaccination is highly encouraged—this is how we could show gratitude to our everyday heroes…Together with Unilab, your trusted quality healthcare partner, we will bring Covovax to the private sector to help our economy get back up,” ani ni Kishore Hemlani, founder ng Faberco Life Sciences, Inc. sa naging briefing, naging kinatawan ng Unilab si Atty. Jose Maria Ochave, Unilab Senior Vice-President for Social Partnerships, kasama si Dr. Nancy Bermal, Unilab Medical Director, at Manolet Montinola, Unilab Vice-President.
“Bayanihan has always been a cornerstone of our policies… it has always been with us. So, we taught that this is a good vaccine and in the spirit of Bayanihan, we said, why don’t we offer it to the rest, and fortunately, Faberco said yes. They can take care of the government sector and we can take care of the private sector. We’re a 100% Filipino-owned company, we sink, and we swim with the country,” pahayag ni Atty. Ochave.
Sa kasalukuyan ang presyo ng bakuna ay nasa P1,000 kada dose, exclusive of VAT, inclusive ng logistics at delivery sa buong bansa sa kahit saang hospital o site na aprubado ng DOH. Hindi pa kasama ang presyo ng pagbabakuna, nakadepende ito base sa hospital o site na napili ng bibiling kumpanya. Maaari ring isama sa mga orders ang pamilya ng mga empleyado, kasabay ng pagsunod pa rin sa itinakdang prioritization ng gobyerno.
