The Philippines' vaccine expert panel is also in talks with the United States, Australia, Taiwan, China, and other European countries for vaccines being developed in these countries.
Following President Rodrigo Duterte’s vote of confidence for Russia’s controversial Sputnik V vaccine, state scientists allayed concerns the Philippines would prioritize it for trials, saying all potential vaccines being reviewed were on “equal footing.”on Thursday, August 13, that while Russia may have been the first country to register and approve a COVID-19 vaccine, the Philippine was still in talks with other countries for trials of other vaccines.
The DOST, which currently leads the government’s sub-technical working group on vaccine development, earlier eyed to begin Phase 3 clinical trials for at least 5 vaccine candidates by October. These include 3 from Sinovac, Sinopharm, and the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in China as well as two being developed by Adimmune Corporation and Academia Sinica in Taiwan.
Philippine Council for Health Research and Development Executive Director Jaime Montoya said this will still depend on the decision of the DOST and Food and Drug Administration .
