+ February 21, 2021 LAST week, I attended the webinar entitled “Understanding How Covid-19 Vaccines Work,” hosted by the Institute of Philippine Culture of the Ateneo De Manila University. The resource speaker was Dr. Nina Gloriani, head of the Vaccine Development Expert Panel of the Department of Science and Technology.
