Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire says punishments will be enforced if the vaccinator carried out the lapses intentionally.

The Department of Health on Friday said vaccinators who commit"human errors" when giving COVID-19 shots will not be penalized.

"Halimbawa ito ay intentional na ginawa, diyan talaga, we will penalize. We can see that these were all, itong nakikita nating lapse in the processes, wala namang masamang intention," she said in a media briefing."These are really just human errors na gusto natin maimprove in the coming days kaya we are orienting them."

It was exposed this week that a volunteer nurse in Makati who injected the needle into the arm of a recipient forgot to press the syringe to release the vaccine. There were reports of similar incidents in other vaccination sites across Metro Manila. Vergeire said the vaccinator may show the syringe and its contents to the recipient before and after the shots to help avoid improper inoculation.
