The arrival of the 600,000 doses of CoronaVac, the vaccine against coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) that was donated by the Chinese government and manufactured by Chinese pharmaceutical firm Sinovac Biotech Ltd., at the beginning of the month signaled a turnaround in the country’s fight against the pandemic that has ravaged the country for almost a year.
But despite national and local government officials referring to them as “doses of hope,” their arrival was met with muted enthusiasm and plenty of skepticism as the public questioned its efficacy rate of just over 50 percent.
The CoronaVac vaccines, though, are not intended for everybody. They are reserved for public and private medical workers who are exposed to Covid-19 patients.

Private hospital to donate AstraZeneca COVID vaccine to Mandaue City


Published March 11, 2021, 3:04 PM
CEBU CITY – A private hospital will donate COVID-19 vaccines to the city government of Mandaue.
Candice Gotianuy, president of the University of Cebu Medical Center (UCMed), said Wednesday they will donate to Mandaue half of the COVID-19 vaccines they ordered from British drugmaker AstraZeneca.
“We are donating half of AstraZeneca that we ordered to the frontline workers of the government, to the public sector,” said Gotianuy. “That is our way of helping the economy grow and our country to move forward,” she added.
Gotianuy made the pledge during UCMed’s ceremonial COVID-19 vaccination drive Wednesday where at least 50 medical workers were vaccinated.
