The Quezon City government sues people who sought a third vaccine jab for violating a city ordinance that prohibits 'misrepresentation of vaccine status'.

The Quezon City government on Friday, August 13, filed complaints against two fully vaccinated individuals who secured a third COVID-19 jab in the city’s inoculation hubs, despite the national government still not having greenlit “booster” vaccinations.

A second violator, meanwhile, bragged about receiving a third dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, after earlier getting two doses in Quezon City, the LGU said. Metropolitan Manila Development Authority Chairman Benhur Abalos, coordinator for all mayors of the National Capital Region, also disclosed on Friday that a probe into those availing of booster shots despite the lack of vaccines was underway.
