All-out campaign on vs COVID-19 vaccine sellers --- Roque
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque condemned individuals involved in the illegal sale of COVID-19 vaccines, urging them to feel ashamed and stating that no one should profit from the nation's suffering.
He emphasized that vaccines are not for commercial sale and should not be stolen for profit, as they are intended for pandemic response.
The government is committed to an "all-out campaign" to investigate and punish those behind the illegal vaccine sales.
The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) arrested three individuals, including a registered nurse, for selling COVID-19 vaccines.
Seized from the suspects were 300 doses of Sinovac's CoronaVac vaccine, which were not sourced from the Manila local government's supply.
