Hundreds of health workers in Marikina City backed out from vaccination upon learning that they will be receiving Sinovac’s CoronaVac, Mayor Marcelino “Marcy” Teodoro said on Thursday, March 3.

In an interview with ANC, Teodoro said the city’s initial list of individuals to be vaccinated was at 1,500. The number dwindled to 160.

“When they learned that CoronaVac will be used for vaccination, they changed their mind and withdrew their consent,” he said. While he was “saddened” by the low turnout on the first day of vaccination in the city, Teodoro said he understood the sentiments of the healthcare workers.
