Published March 4, 2021 1:11pm More than 1,200 health workers of the Vicente Sotto Medical Center (VSMC) in Cebu City are set to get a Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine jab, its hospital chief said Thursday. VSMC medical chief Dr. Gerardo Aquino made the announcement on the same day that the hospital received 7,200 doses of Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine donated by the Chinese government. “May 1,246 na nag-consent, at tumataas pa rin ‘yan. The other day, it was only 700 of us,” Aquino said during the Laging Handa briefing. Aquino said that the COVID-19 vaccination of the hospital’s health workers will take six to seven days, and that there will be two hospitals on standby which can use the Sinovac COVID-19 vaccines in the event VSMC won’t be able to use them all.
