Senator Bong Go on Saturday urged the public to be vigilant against individuals who are selling Covid-19 vaccines, vaccination slots, or worse — fake vaccines.
The chair of the Senate health committee reminded Filipinos that the vaccines being rolled out by the government are given for free.
Go also warned perpetrators that they are putting lives at risk with their illegal activities and that they would be held accountable for such actions that take advantage of the vulnerabilities of Filipinos amid an ongoing health crisis.
“Bawal po ‘yung for sale! Pinaghirapan po ito ng gobyerno, libre po ang bakuna na pinapamahagi sa tao,” he told reporters.
“Halos araw-araw tayong nagpa-follow up para makakuha lang ng bakuna sa ibang bansa. Kaya hindi po ito binebenta. Libre po ito sa mga Pilipino,” he added.
To ensure that they are properly distributed, Go said that the government had been allocating the vaccines to critical areas as well as far-flung communities, especially areas like Siargao Island, which he visited over the weekend.
“Kaya nga po hinihikayat namin ang national government na iparating ‘yung mga bakuna sa pinakamalayong lugar, including Siargao,” he said.
