MANILA - The Philippines has approved Sinovac Biotech’s COVID-19 vaccine for emergency use, but will not give it to healthcare workers at risk of exposure due to its varying levels of efficacy, its Food and Drugs Agency said on Monday.

Late-stage trial data of Sinovac’s vaccine showed it had a lower efficacy when used for healthcare workers exposed to COVID-19 compared with healthy individuals age 18-59, said FDA chief Rolando Enrique Domingo.“According to our experts, vaccine is not the best vaccine for them,” Domingo said in a briefing, referring to health workers.CoronaVac is the third candidate to get emergency approval for use in the Southeast Asian nation of over 108 million.

The Philippines, which has the second highest of coronavirus infections and deaths in Southeast Asia, has yet to begin its immunisation campaign.
