The Chinese-made vaccine Sinopharm that was used to inoculate President Duterte against the coronavirus disease has not yet underwent evaluation by the country’s Food and Drug Administration .

FDA Director General Eric Domingo said the agency cannot determine yet the efficacy and other information regarding the vaccine since it has yet to be evaluated by the agency.

“From what I have read in other evaluations like from the WHO, its efficacy is also similar to Sinovac especially for those 18 to 59 years old and also for those without comorbidity. It has a high efficacy rate of about 70 to 80 percent,” he said. “Ako officially wala pa akong report kasi na natatanggap sa PSG kasi pinapa-report namin sila every month. Yung last nga na pinareport namin sila hindi pa daw dumadating yung vaccines ,” Domingo said.

“Hindi naman kasi yung reporting naman talaga is at the end of the month, hindi naman siya per use ,” Domingo said.
