(Bloomberg) -- The Philippines has approved Moderna Inc.’s coronavirus vaccine for emergency use, Food and Drug Administration head Eric Domingo said Wednesday.
The benefits of using Moderna’s shots to prevent Covid-19 outweigh known and potential risks, Domingo said at a virtual briefing.
Moderna recently signed a deal with the Philippine government and private sector to supply 20 million doses of its Covid-19 vaccines. Initial shipments are expected in June, vaccine czar Carlito Galvez said Tuesday.
