The Food and Drug Administration said there are still no reported adverse events in countries using the Sputnik V COVID-19 vaccine.
This, as the Philippine government finalizes the procurement of 20 million doses from the vaccine manufacturer, Russian firm Gamaleya.
"So far sa ibang countries wala pa namang nakikitang signals or red flag," FDA Director General Eric Domingo said Wednesday. "Kapag dumating dito iyan magiging strict din naman ang ating monitoring but until maumpisahan natin yan, we'll keep getting information from the other countries who are using it."
[Translation: So far in other countries they have not reported signals or red flags. Once they arrive in the country we will be strict in monitoring, but until we start its use, we'll keep getting information from the other countries who are using it.]
