Deputy Speaker and Valenzuela City Rep. Wes Gatchalian is calling on law enforcement agencies to intensify their crackdown on unregistered Covid-19 vaccines supposedly being sold online.
In a statement Monday, Gatchalian, Deputy Speaker for Trade and Industry, said there might be an influx of “unscrupulous individuals selling unregistered, or worse, fake vaccine” especially now that the government is expected to kick off its vaccination program later this month.
“We call on all cybercrime agencies of the government to be on the lookout for illegal and unregistered COVID-19 vaccines and pool their resources to apprehend opportunists who prey on the public,” Gatchalian said in a statement
Gatchalian warned that medicines yet to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may put the health of the public at risk.
“I urge our kababayans to report any suspicious claims or advertisement claiming to be a vaccine for Covid-19… Although these are indeed trying times, it is the height of insensitivity to take advantage of the need of our public,” Gatchalian said.
