MANILA, Philippines — The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted an emergency use authorization (EUA) to the Department of Health to accept the AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines to be donated by Japan and the United States, respectively.

We recently issued an EUA to the Department of Health for them to be able to accept donations from Japan,” FDA Director-General Eric Domingo said, speaking party in Filipino, in a taped briefing with President Rodrigo Duterte that aired Wednesday.
