Pharmaceutical firm AstraZeneca has applied to health regulators for emergency use authorization (EUA) of its COVID-19 vaccine in the Philppines, the food and drugs agency chief said on Wednesday.

AstraZeneca's application is the second the Philippine Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has received after Pfizer made a similar application last month.
