President Rodrigo Duterte dared Vice President Robredo to be inoculated with Sinovac vaccine. “She’s young, I am not. I have to defer to my doctor,” said PRRD. He also lamented attempts by some sectors to dramatize the situation. The President asked for a personal supply of a particular vaccine but it was out of stock.
Duterte recently challenged Vice President Leni Robredo anew. This was after Robredo backed the doctors’ plea to have Sinovac Biotech’s COVID-19 vaccines undergo further reviews. The said vaccines donated by the Chinese government arrived in the Philippines on February 28. Duterte then slammed Robredo’s call and dared her to do vaccine shopping outside the country.
