Concepcion lauded the decision of the Food And Drug Administration to allow people below 60 years old to take the AstraZeneca vaccines, saying this was good news for the private sector and the local government units.

The decision was adopted by the Department of Health . DOH said the use of AstraZeneca vaccines will resume after a two-week evaluation of the preventive drug.Concepcion thanked health authorities for reconsidering their position on the use of AstraZeneca.
He said an agreement has been signed with Zuellig Pharma Corporation to serve as the official storage and distribution partner in different locations nationwide.
