Opposition Senator Francis “Kiko” N. Pangilinan on Wednesday called on the Department of Health (DOH) to reconsider its order to purchase of Sinovac vaccines following the results of a new study in Brazil showing a 50.4-percent efficacy rate of the China-made vaccine.

“Sinovac, with just over 50 percent efficacy, is six times more expensive than AstraZeneca, which in contrast shows a 70-percent efficacy. Sinovac is more expensive yet it has the lowest efficacy. Given these latest findings, we call on the DOH to cancel the purchase of said vaccines,” Pangilinan said in a tweet.

At Monday’s Senate Committee of the Whole public hearing regarding the vaccine roll-out, Pangilinan said the country should procure vaccines on the bases of both higher efficacy and lower cost. According to data shared during the interpellation on the bicameral report on the 2021 national budget, the cost of Sinovac is P3,629.50, Moderna at P3,904-P4,504, Pfizer P2,379, Gamaleya P1,220, via Covax facility P854, AstraZeneca P610, and Novavax P366.

LOL! alam ba ni kiko yung job description tsaka duties and responsibilities ng isang senador?! 😂🤣
