It was cited that the Delta or Indian variant is an improved version of the UK or alpha variant in the pace of its transmission. The delta variant’s character or mutation of spike protein makes it more stable inside the upper respiratory tract.

However, a single dose of Pfizer BioNTech vaccine is singled at 33 percent of effectivity against the delta variant.
Last June 21, 2021, the country has successfully secured 40M doses of order from Pfizer BioNTech, which can be cited as the biggest vaccine deal in numbers yet.
Today, the Philippines has recorded 113M of covid-19 vaccine doses from five vaccine manufacturers: namely Sinovac, Sputnik V, Moderna, AstraZeneca, and Pfizer BioNTech.
