— The Food and Drug Administration hopes reports of deaths among the elderly in Norway after receiving COVID-19 vaccine shots will not worsen Filipinos' vaccine hesitancy, its chief said Sunday.
"I hope not," he told CNN Philippines in a text message, when asked if the news could affect Filipinos' trust in the vaccine. Quoting the Norwegian Medicines Agency, it said they"have experienced the expected side effects of the vaccine, such as nausea and vomiting, fever, local reactions at the injection site, and worsening of their underlying condition."
The country has yet to secure vaccine procurement deals with the US pharmaceutical company, but vaccine czar Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. said the government expects to receive more or less 40 million doses this year.
Worse. Sad. We just hope to have a more safe and reliable vaccine.
Kung nakakamamatay, paano nga hindi mag worry?
Hope against hope...very unlikely.
