MANILA, Philippines — Those who committed wrongdoings that led to the Dengvaxia mess should be accountable even if the previous administration meant well when it administered the vaccine, Malacañang said Sunday. Even if the government meant well, let’s say the past administration, but there must be accountability,” Andanar told radio station dzMM. The administration has been accused of implementing the vaccine program even if studies on its safety have not been completed. Aquino told a Senate hearing last week that nobody had opposed the rollout of the vaccine program, which he said was meant to ensure the safety of Filipinos. Defending his administration's vaccine program, Aquino stressed that it was the government's obligation to ensure the safety of its citizens.
