VACC Chairman Dante Jimenez said that it appears SANOFI just because its clinical trial has not yet been completed when it sold the vaccine in the Philippines.
Jimenez added that cases of severe dengue illness being reported increases everyday which is suspected to be due to Dengvaxia vaccine. This, he stressed should be acted upon immediately by the Duterte administration.
Earlier, the Department of Health (DOH) announced that starting January 2018, it will conduct visitations and inpection in various schools which gave the vaccine to their students to determine the effect on them.
