A doctor’s prescription is required for the purchase of bivalent COVID-19 vaccines, according to the Food and Drug Administration. | kdevillaINQ /PDI
The symbol Rx on a medical product indicates that it requires the prescription of a physician.
The jabs “should be kept in proper refrigeration, 2 to 8 degrees Celsius for 10 weeks,” Cirunay said, adding that this was a specific requirement since the vaccines now have “marketing authorization.”Pfizer will sell the vaccines under the brand name Comirnaty Original/Omicron BA.4-5 upon their shipment to the country, following an agreed price with the FDA.
Lawyer Emilio Polig Jr., director of FDA’s legal services support center, said “We first have to wait on what would be the declared price of Pfizer… It’s a drug product, so under the Price Act , it should be monitored by the DOH .”
