PBEC Board of Director and Corporate Member Aboitiz Group pledge to donate more vaccine doses

THE ABOITIZ group has committed to donate additional vaccine doses for the second wave of the tripartite initiative among the private sector, the government and UK-based AstraZeneca plc, it said on Tuesday. The program dubbed “A Dose of Hope” aims to bring in 3 million more vaccine doses on top of the 2.6 million doses that were pledged in November. The initiative aims to inoculate as much as 70 million Filipinos in 2021. The Aboitiz group joined more than 300 companies and around 40 local government units in forging the deal during a virtual signing ceremony on Thursday, it said in a press release.
