On the Spot
By James Paul Rendado
The governor of Cavite, Jonvic Remulla said on his Facebook livestream that the target is to start the traditional classes of all the universities and colleges in Cavite by vaccinating college students for free, not inclined to their tuition fee or any payments from their school.
The goal of the governor of Cavite is satisfactory, because we have been in quarantine for already a year and we hope to meet our friends in the class we met online. But the question is, does the vaccine that they are going to inject college students have a higher number of efficacy or not? Because there are many vaccines in the world such as Sinovac, Moderna, AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Sputnik V and many more. Yet some of them haven't completed the 3-phase trial or they might already have completed the 3-phase trial but it had a low efficacy rate and export here in the Philippines delivering into various provinces and cities nationwide. Such as Sinovac last year, they conducted a clinical trial of all vaccines and according to trial after conducted in Brazil the vaccine Sinovac was estimated 49.6% effective when against symptomatic COVID-19 cases and for asymptomatic it had dropped to 35.1% which it had the efficacy rate of 50.7%.
I believe that students must contemplate on what vaccine must be injected to them, because they don’t want Cavite to become the number one in mortality rate of dying of COVID-19. They should look if the vaccine has proven effective from 3-phase trial and approved by the health government organisation like Food and Drug Administration (FDA) because I remember last year about the smuggle vaccine issue when there's a vaccine that was exported here in the Philippines with no approval from the health government organisation and use it for the members of Presidential Spokesperson Group.
If you don't want to be one of the people who will be vaccinated for Sinovac or any vaccine in the world because you still have certainty issues, Stand by longer is the only thing you can do and there's no alternative way because you don't want to risk your body getting injected fearing that you might lose your life in a few days or few months.
