A vaccine called “Sputnik V” developed by Russia’s Gamaleya to fight against Covid-19 is can be used by the Philippines but Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is not sure enough if it is worth risking for yet. Philippine Medical Association president Jose Santiago Jr. said they need to run some tests as well to know possible side effects.

“We have to really verify what their clinical trials were and, of course, who were their subjects. Then we have to wait for the possible effects or side effects of the vaccine,” Santiago told the Inquirer. “I think we can still wait. We don’t have to rush to get into the vaccine of Russia.” Jose Santiago Jr. said

“We have to really see the reports, some trials that they have undergone. We are really not confident with the vaccine of Russia now,” he added.
