Former Health secretary and current Iloilo Representative Janette Garin faces more charges in connection with her alleged liability over the deaths of children who got inoculated with the Dengvaxia anti-dengue vaccine.

Department of Justice Assistant Secretary Neal Bainto announced this on Friday, Feb. 21, citing the 78-page resolution issued last Feb. 19 by a panel of prosecutors finding probable cause to indict Garin and her co-respondents with reckless imprudence resulting in homicide for the deaths of eight children comprising the second batch of Dengvaxia complaints.

Under the Revised Penal Code, Bainto noted that “the penalty for reckless imprudence resulting in homicide is imprisonment of up to six years for each count.” Aside from this, the panel also found “sufficient evidence” to indict the president and four other executives of Sanofi for violating the Consumer Act of the Philippines for manufacturing the Dengvaxia vaccine which poses certian risks to seronegatives, or to those who have not previously contracted the Dengue disease.”
