Doctors’ Group Tells Public Attorney’s Office To Stop Spreading False And Unproven Claims Against Controversial Dengvaxia Vaccine
DENGVAXIA – The Doctors for Truth and Welfare calls out on the Public Attorney’s Office and tells them to stop spreading unproven Dengvaxia claims.
The one-year ban on Dengvaxia vaccine will end this month but according to the Department of Health, the vaccine will not be used anytime soon, thus, extending the ban. The Certificate Product Registration (CPR) of the controversial vaccine, according to DOH Undersecretary Eric Domingo, has not yet lifted and believes that it will no longer be lifted anymore.
Health Secretary Francisco Duque III said that pending regulatory and legal issues and the lack of testing kits to detect previous dengue infection are among the reasons to stop the anti-dengue vaccine, even noting that no one will dare to let themselves be vaccinated with it.
