The Food and Drug Administration chief also allays fears of waning immunity among the health workers inoculated in March. He says even if their antibody levels do decline, they are still assured of a significant level of protection against COVID-19

— There is not enough evidence to say healthcare workers inoculated with Sinovac in March would soon need booster shots, Food and Drug Administration Director General Eric Domingo said Tuesday.

"Even the WHO is not advocating boosters, because we know that even if the antibody levels go down, it doesn't mean we're not protected," he added.
