The makers of the Sinopharm Covid-19 vaccine, which was smuggled and used to inoculate members of the Presidential Security Group (PSG) last year, have yet to submit the required documents for the emergency use authorization (EUA) of the Chinese vaccine.
Columnist Ramon Tulfo Jr., who participated in the October vaccination, said he had recommended Duterte the Sinopharm vaccine for its “lack of troublesome side effects.”
In a Manila Times column, Tulfo admitted receiving a Sinopharm vaccine along with other government officials and members of the Presidential Security Group (PSG) in October 2020.
President Rodrigo Duterte and his spokesman Harry Roque are ready to get injected with Chinese vaccines.
