Senator Christopher “Bong” Go on Sunday said he is not yet sure if President Duterte would be taking shots of the Sinovac vaccine once the government finally begins its vaccination program against COVID-19.

Go said the President has to wait for the advice of his doctors on what particular vaccine to use in consideration of his age. The senator pointed out the Chief Executive is already 76 years old.

The FDA also did not recommend the China-made vaccine to healthcare workers who are closely in contact with COVID-19 patients due to its varying levels of efficacy. “Kami naman po ni Pangulong Duterte, willing naman kami magpabakuna in public. Kailangan ipakita namin na tanging bakuna lang ang pag-asa natin, ,” Go said in an interview over Radio DZBB.

“Kung ano po sinabi ng doctor, whether Sinovac, Sinopharm, AstraZeneca, Moderna… kung anong sabihin na duktor kung ano ituturok sa kanya. So di nap o question kung magpapabakuna ba siya or hindi, sure nap o na magpapabakuna ,” he stressed.

Despite FDA advise, PH gov't eyes inoculation of senior citizens with Sinovac COVID-19 vaccineThat’s despite a previous recommendation from the Philippine Food and Drug Administration to use Sinovac shots only on healthy individuals between ages 18 to 59 years old. why is this govt insist on this happening when experts are against it? have we run out of 18-59yo filipinos to vaccinate instead? or is this a 'request' that came with the 'donation'? what a mess this govt has done in handling COVID19PH 😠 Okay, unahin niyo iturok kat Tatay yan ha. Dapat live sa tv. Senior naman siya di ba? So FDA and DOH are again basically useless? No wonder they do not care about what is sold in the country. Aiyaaaa
