A doctor's prescription will be mandatory for the purchase of bivalent Covid-19 vaccines once they are released in the Philippines.
The FDA has granted Pfizer a certificate of product registration for the commercial distribution of their bivalent shots, Tozinameran + Famtozinameran.
Only accredited pharmacies and hospitals will be permitted to sell the vaccines, and they must possess adequate cold storage facilities.
The bivalent vaccine administration will be restricted to licensed healthcare professionals on-site, who may include trained immunizing pharmacists.
The vaccines should be kept in proper refrigeration at 2 to 8 degrees Celsius for 10 weeks.
