Former President Benigno Aquino III on Thursday defended his government’s decision to purchase the now controversial anti-dengue vaccine Dengvaxia.

Sanofi Pasteur earlier came out with a warning that people who have not yet been infected by dengue but got vaccinated had chances of developing severe dengue in the future.
