Metro Manila will get the Philippines' first delivery of COVID-19 shots from Russia's Gamaleya Institute due to the vaccine's cold storage requirement, Palace spokesman Harry Roque said on Tuesday.

Some 15,000 shots of the Russian vaccine Sputnik V will arrive in the Philippines on Wednesday, he said in a press briefing.

Another 480,000 Sputnik V shots will be delivered before the month ends, he added.

The Philippines aims to vaccinate 70 million or about two-thirds of its population this year.
