The Food and Drug Administration has clarified that health workers nationwide may still opt to be injected with the vaccine developed by Sinovac, saying the exception only applies to about 20,000 who

are treating COVID-19 patients.During the Senate’s plenary debates on the proposed “COVID-19 Vaccination Program Act”, Senator Juan Edgardo “Sonny” Angara said the FDA was not entirely advising against the use of Sinovac’s CoronaVac for health workers.

But Angara said Domingo clarified to him that the exception only applies to some 20,000 health workers who are directly treating COVID-19 patients. Angara said that the regulatory agency was merely relaying the findings of the clinical trials conducted on the vaccine. Earlier, Senator Panfilo Lacson compared the FDA’s approval of Sinovac to “a chef who refuses to eat the food that he just cooked because it is not good but which he serves to the customers”.
