Food and Drug Administration Director-General Rolando Enrique Domingo said that he did not feel any adverse reactions.

“Until now, wala naman akong nararamdaman kahit yung injection site nga eh, hindi naman sya masakit. Wala naman akong nararamdaman na soreness at systemic symptoms like lagnat, pamimigat ng katawan even on the injection site. It doesn’t hurt. I don’t feel any soreness and systemic symptoms like fever, body pain),” he said during the Laging Handa press briefing on Monday, March 1.“Ang galing po nung nurse namin sa PGH , ni hindi ko po naramdaman yung injection ,” he said.

“Wala akong ibang karamdaman kaya 15 minutes lang ang monitoring sa akin tapos chineck nila yung BP ko, tiningnan nila kung may lagnat, wala naman. So pinauwi na ko ,” he added. Domingo received the Sinovac vaccine at the Philippine General Hospital together with infectious disease expert Dr. Edsel Salvana, and PGH Director Gerardo Legaspi.

Dr. Eileen Aniceto, the first recipient of the Sinovac vaccine at the Lung Center of Philippines in Quezon City, praised Department of Health Secretary Francisco Duque III in administering the vaccine to her.After she received her first dose of COVID-19 vaccine, Aniceto is ready again to attend to her patients’ needs.
