Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, April 8) The Department of Health said on Thursday it adopted the recommendation of the Food and Drug Administration to temporarily stop giving the COVID-19 vaccine made by British-Swedish firm AstraZeneca to people under the age of 60. This was after European drug regulators found a link between the coronavirus shot and a few cases of unusual blood clots with low platelet count.
The DOH made the announcement hours after FDA Director General Rolando Domingo said they made such a request.
“We asked DOH kung mayroon pa pong natitirang AstraZeneca vaccine, siguro ay huwag muna nating gamitin sa mga (maybe, we should not use it on) people below 60 until we get clearer evidence and clearer guidance from the WHO at sa ating pong mga (and our) experts,” Domingo said Thursday in a briefing.
