The safety and efficacy of a coronavirus vaccine is more important than the brand name it carries, health workers said Tuesday amid discussions on whether Filipinos can afford to be “picky” when it comes to vaccines.
In Ivan Mayrina’s “24 Oras” report, the health workers said they would review data from the vaccines’ trials before deciding whether they should get one.
“Hindi naman matter sa’kin ang brand name. It’s more of kung ano ‘yung nagagawa ng vaccine for the person. So kung Sinovac, I would look into it, kung ano ‘yung mga data na available,” Dr. Shanice Esguerra said.
