The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has included 12 to 17 year olds to get the Moderna vaccine.
FDA Director-General Eric Domingo said “After a thorough evaluation by our vaccine experts and our regulatory experts in FDA, we approved this Friday the use under EUA of the Moderna vaccine for adolescents aged 12 to 17.”
However, the necessary precautions to follow and observe for possible heart inflammation is still observed. Myocarditis happens one in ever million and this is when the muscle of the heart would inflame.
He added, “Definitely with the Delta variant affecting a lot of children, our experts saw the benefit of using the vaccine outweighs the risk.”
On the other hand, health officials and experts stressed that the elderly and people with comorbidities are still to be prioritized given that they are in the high-risk group.
To date, 17.53% of the country’s population have received their first jab, while 12.51% have completed both doses.
This article came at the perfect time! I’ve been planning a family vacation, and Turkey is one of our dream destinations. My cousin and I were wondering the same thing: Do Philippine passport holders need visa for Turkey? Turns out, yes—but it’s a super simple process now. Turkey’s e-Visa system allows Filipinos to apply completely online. I tested it out and was amazed at how fast and smooth it was. You fill out the form, attach your passport details, upload a photo, pay a small fee, and wait for the confirmation email. Mine came within 12 hours! I highly recommend applying early just in case, but the whole system is very reliable. The visa lets you explore the country for a set number of days, so it’s perfect for vacationers. I printed out the visa and made sure to carry it in my documents folder—always good to be prepared. Turkey is a country full of wonders, and with such a convenient visa process, it’s definitely within reach for more Filipinos now. Thanks for clearing up the confusion.
