Despite insistence that it was his doctor who recommended the Sinopharm coronavirus vaccine, President Duterte apologized for receiving a vaccine that has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The President admitted that Sinopharm, developed by Beijing Biological Products Institute under state-owned China National Biotec Group (CNBG), has not been tested by the country’s FDA.
