Sinovac ‘effective’ despite issues on efficacy rate: Panelo
Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo vouched for the effectiveness of China's Sinovac vaccines in protecting people against the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).
This comes after reports revealed that hundreds of Indonesian healthcare workers contracted Covid-19 despite being inoculated with these vaccines.
Panelo stated that Sinovac's vaccines, similar to other jabs, are effective in reducing coronavirus symptoms and preventing death or hospitalization after two doses.
He cited that no one in the Philippines who received the vaccines have died or experienced severe side effects.
Meanwhile, a public health expert also stated that the Sinovac vaccine remains effective in preventing severe COVID-19 symptoms and deaths, although more data is needed on the Indonesian reports.
