MANILA, Philippines — Health workers who commit “human errors” when administering COVID-19 jabs will not be penalized, the Department of Health said Friday. However, vaccinators who will make mistakes on purpose will be punished, Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said. This prompted the department to re-orient health workers on vaccine administration protocols. Vergeire also said vaccinators may show the syringe used in the inoculation to ensure they are vaccinated properly. “If vaccination sites want to do show the syringe before and after the vaccination process, we will support that,” she said.
