The Bureau of Animal Industry said earlier this year that they had endorsed a Vietnam-manufactured ASF vaccine for approval.
MANILA — Sen. Cynthia Villar on Wednesday scolded officials of the Bureau of Animal Industry for allowing private suppliers to lead trials on vaccines against African Swine Fever.
"Justify niyo nga sa akin bakit ninyo ginagawa, kasi ako nasho-shock. You don't think there is conflict of interest?" Villar, chair of the Senate agriculture panel, asked.Under Food and Drug Administration guidelines, "the initiation, management, and or financing of clinical trials" is the responsibility of sponsors.These sponsors then tap Contract Research Organizations to conduct the trials.
The senator proposed that while no vaccines has been approved, the budget for it must go towards indemnification of hog raisers affected by the disease. Prior to the hearing, DA Undersecretary for Livestock Deogracias Savellano said they and the FDA need to iron out overlapping mandates on vaccine trials.
