At least 4 doses of COVID-19 vaccine wasted in PNP so far — Sinas

Philippine National Police chief Police General Debold Sinas on Monday said four doses of vaccine wastage have been reported so far in their organization from their supply of doses.

Sinas told reporters in an interview the vaccines were not used because they were  shattered or broken.

“Binigyan kami ng 1,004. Tapos apat po doon ay parang nabasag o nasira na vaccine. But the rest are okay,” Sinas said.

The ongoing vaccination rollout in the country against COVID-19 only covers frontline healthcare workers, which also include medical personnel of police and military hospitals and health facilities.

In the National Capital Region, Sinas said they already finished the inoculation of their health personnel.

Only two personnel have experienced allergic reaction after receiving the shots but it only lasted for around two hours, Sinas said. — Joviland Rita/RSJ, GMA News
