Government officials responsible for the Dengvaxia mess should be punished, Bishop Ruperto Santos of Balanga, Bataan said on Wednesday. He lamented that more tan 800,000 children were endangered because of the negligence and irresponsibility of government officials. The Senate will resume its inquiry into the vaccine controversy today, with former president Benigno Aquino 3rd possibly in attendance. “In the case of the P3.5-billion dengue vaccine, the role played by the FDA in allowing the use of the dengue vaccine should be exacted with appropriate sanctions,” Sotto said. Likewise, Sanofi Pasteur wants to assure Filipinos that dengvaxia is safe especially those who intend to protect themselves from another attack of dengue.
