MANILA, Feb. 21, 2020 — Ginkasuhan sang Department of Justice sanday former Health Sec. kag subong Iloilo 1st District Rep. Janette Garin kag siyam ka iban pa sang reckless imprudence resulting to homicide bangud sa kontrobersyal nga anti-Dengue vaccine Dengvaxia.

Sa press release nga ginpaguwa subong nga adlaw, ginpabutyag sang DOJ nga may probable cause nga nakita ang state prosecutors agud ma-indict sa reckless imprudence resulting to homicide si Garin, upod ang pila pa ka opisyal sang Department of Health, Food and Drug Administration, Research Institute for Tropical Medicine kag Sanofi Pasteur Incorporated.

“The Panel [of prosecutors] concluded that the accomplishment of the procurement process for the Dengvaxia vaccine, with undue haste, within a limited timeframe, and despite the red flags known to Garin and other respondents, amounted to reckless imprudence,” suno sa DOJ.

Gin-indict suno sa DOJ ang presidente Sanofi Pasteur bangud sa paglapas sang Consumer Act of the Philippines, “for manufacturing the Dengvaxia vaccine which poses certain risks to seronegatives, or to those who have not previously contracted the Dengue disease.”
