The Philippine Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is planning to issue its own advisory on the usage of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for very old and individuals.

“Wala naman po sa ngayon, di pa rin po nagbabago ng guidelines on the use. Ini-investigate na po ang nangyari. Mukhang magkakaroon lang po siguro ng parang revision at advisory against the use of the vaccine on ‘yun pong mga very old at very frail,” Domingo said in an interview with ABS-CBN News.

The FDA has issued its first emergency use authorization to Pfizer last week.

However, the FDA may issuse a “revision and advisory” against its use on “very old and very frail” individuals.

This came after some 28 people have reportedly died in Norway after getting their COVID-19 vaccine shot. Norway health authorities, however, said that they don’t see any link between the vaccines and the deaths.

Of the 13 cases analyzed in detail so far, “they are people of advanced age, are frail and have serious illnesses, all of them,” the director of the Norwegian Institute of Public Health Camilla Stoltenberg said in a briefing.
