Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, February 12) Medical frontliners have flagged the government s decision to allow the use of unregistered COVID-19 vaccines manufactured by China s Sinopharm for President Rodrigo Duterte s security group, stressing this could further weigh down public trust in vaccination.
Eyebrows were raised following the move of the Food and Drug Administration to grant the Presidential Security Group s application for compassionate special permit to use 10,000 doses of Sinopharm vaccines.
Health experts said the special permit leaves doubts about the government s transparency and the equitable distribution of vaccines against the coronavirus.
