According to information shared by the Office of the Mayor Chief of Staff Cesar Chavez, the said arrested individuals have been detained in the Manila Police District and are being investigated.
So far, only the A1 and A3 range are allowed to be vaccinated due to lack of vaccine supply. The said sector includes health care workers, senior citizens and individuals with comorbidity or illness.
Based on the regulations of the Inter-Agency task Force (IATF) and the Department of Health (DOH), vaccines for COVID-19 must prioritize the frontliners and senior citizens who are vulnerable to the disease.
The DOH once again reminded the public to wait and everyone will be vaccinated when other vaccine supplies arrive. Police have warned those who plan to forge requirements or documents only to benefit those who are more eligible to be given the first dose of CoVid-19 vaccine.
