The PAO has asked the SC to grant its request to consolidate and transfer to a Quezon City court seven criminal cases in connection with deaths allegedly linked to the anti-dengue vaccine, Dengvaxia. | DJEsguerraINQ

Seven of the cases were filed separately in a Metropolitan Trial Court in Quezon City, a Municipal Trial Court in San Pedro, Laguna; an MTC in Balanga, Bataan; two different MeTCs in Muntinlupa City; and a MeTC in Caloocan City where two cases were filed.The previous administration implemented a national anti-dengue immunization program and procured Dengvaxia vaccines from pharmaceutical giant Sanofi Pasteur.

However, the government ordered its recall after the company issued a statement in 2017 stating that its dengue vaccine – the first in the world – may worsen dengue for those who have yet to contract the virus before being vaccinated. This recall came after reports of children dying allegedly from complications associated with the vaccine. And since the recall, there were reported cases of death among children who received Dengvaxia shots due to severe dengue.
