QUEZON CITY, May 25 (PIA) - The selling of COVID-19 vaccines and vaccination slots is prohibited, said Presidential Spokesperson Secretary Harry Roque during the press briefing held yesterday, May 24.
Secretary Roque explained that COVID-19 vaccines are not for sale as these are only granted authorization for emergency use and not for commercial use. Likewise, the fourth clinical trials are not yet done. So kapag po kayo ay nahuli na nagbibenta ng bakuna na wala pang commercial use ay pupuwede po kayong makulong sang-ayon sa batas na nagbuo ng Food and Drug Administration sa Pilipinas. ( If you are caught selling vaccines that have yet to secure approval for commercial use, you may be jailed in accordance with the law that created the Food and Drug Administration) Secretary Roque said.
