Cebu Pacific has airlifted 76.936 million COVID-19 vaccine doses across the country since March 2021.
In a statement, the low-cost carrier noted the milestone as the government pushes for the administration of the fourth dose of the vaccine, which 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, Cebu Pacific has transported COVID-19 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,” Cebu Pacific chief strategy officer Alex Reyes said.
“Our assistance to the government is meant to make booster shots as conveniently available as possible.”
All Cebu Pacific-delivered COVID-19 vaccines have been subjected to the most stringent procedures to guarantee potency and efficacy until their arrival at the designated stations, the airline said.
