Garin, who served as health secretary during the Aquino administration, aired the appeal after the FDA issued an emergency use authorization for the China-made vaccine but warned that it should not be administered on senior citizens and medical frontliners owing to the high risk to COVID-19 infection they faces.
In a press conference conducted by the House minority bloc, Garin said a review of the decision has become vital as she stressed that “vaccination saves lives.” According to Garin, Phase 1 and 2 of Sinovac trials have shown results among seniors that are at par with the 18-59 years old, but there is a possibility that the data has not been transmitted yet.
The Iloilo lawmaker also lamented that the FDA advisory has countered efforts of government to address vaccination hesitancy among many Filipinos.
Doctor po ba si madam?
In Thailand Sinovac vaccine use in medical frontline first ,after review seriously. Idk why FDA Philippines recommend like that . Seem unprofessional. Of forgot that in Brazil trial also include 'very mind' symptoms which another vaccine never include in trial results.
