FDA probe on PSG’s unauthorized COVID-19 vaccination to push through
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will proceed with its investigation into the Presidential Security Group's (PSG) use of unregistered COVID-19 vaccines, according to FDA Director General Enrique Domingo.
Domingo stated that the FDA has its own process for handling and investigating such complaints and reports, and this process will be followed despite President Duterte's order for the PSG not to attend congressional hearings.
The use of unregistered vaccines is a violation of the FDA Act of 2009, which prohibits the administration and distribution of unapproved vaccines.
Health officials and experts emphasize that unregistered vaccines pose risks as their safety and efficacy cannot be guaranteed without FDA approval.
