MANILA, Philippines — Individuals fully vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine developed by Chinese firm Sinopharm may now receive booster shot, the Department of Health announced Friday.

 

In a briefing, DOH Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said those who got Sinopharm for their primary series can receive the same brand, AstraZeneca, Pfizer, and Moderna for their booster.

 

Vergeire also announced that Sputnik Light, the single-dose version of the jab made by Russia’s Gamaleya Research Institute, was authorized to be used as booster for those who got AstraZeneca, Moderna, Pfizer, and Sinovac shots.
