COVID VACCINE MESS. Senator Francis Tolentino, chairman Senate Blue Ribbon Committee grills Department of Health officer-in-charge Maria Rosario Vergeire, former chief of the National Task Force Against COVID-19 Gen. Carlito Galvez, and ex-Health Secretary Francisco Duque during the panel’s inquiry on the non-disclosure of details of the DOH’s purchase contract for COVID vaccines.
“So the question is when can you provide the COA copies of this? You said earlier that for every agreement, they had to request it. In open session today, they are now requesting that they’d be provided. How fast can you provide the COA with copies of this?” he asked the DOH.Vergeire said: “We’re already preparing, and we will be submitting as soon as possible… maybe by tomorrow before lunch time if that is okay.
As early as October 2021, Duque said the DOH and the National Task Force have reached out to the vaccine manufacturers to make the necessary notifications and secure the requisite consent based on the terms of each agreement. “I’d like to confirm that they have submitted these documents, however we have yet to receive the not redacted documents,” Ramos said.
Vergeire said the agreements with the vaccine manufacturers have a similar clause that they should be informed if the government will disclose the details for legal procedures and auditing purposes.Vergeire said Pfizer allowed them to disclose the details to COA, but the state audit agency must also uphold the confidentiality agreement.
