Moderna COVID-19 vaccine gets emergency use authorization

This is the seventh vaccine to secure an EUA in the country, including Pfizer-BioNTech, AstraZeneca, Sinovac Biotech, Gamaleya Institute, Janssen, and Bharat Biotech.

The government and the private sector earlier signed a tripartite agreement with Moderna for 20 million vaccine doses. Under the agreement, the government will secure 13 million doses while the private sector will have seven million doses for its workers. Vaccine czar Carlito Galvez Jr. earlier said the government also ordered an additional five million doses of the said vaccine.

Philippine Ambassador to the US Jose Manuel “Babe” Romualdez earlier said that about 200,000 doses of the Moderna vaccine are expected to arrive in the Philippines in June.The comments uploaded on this site do not necessarily represent or reflect the views of management and owner of Cebudailynews.
