Sanofi pumayag mag-refund sa Dengvaxia

Ipinatigil na ang pagbebenta at paggamit ng Dengvaxia sa bansa.

MANILA, Philippines — Tinatayang aabot sa P1.4 bilyon ang maibabalik sa Deparment of Health matapos pumayag ang pharmaceutical company Sanofi Pasteur na i-refund ang mga hindi pa nagagamit na anti-dengue vaccine na Dengvaxia.

“Our decision to reimburse for unused doses is not related to any safety or quality issue with Dengvaxia. Rather, Sanofi Pasteur hopes that this decision will allow us to be able to work more openly and constructively with the DOH to address the negative tone towards the dengue vaccine in the Philippines today,” pahayag ng kompanya.

Nilinaw naman ng Sanofi na nag-refund sila hindi dahil sa palpak ang Dengvaxia. Anila nananatiling mabisa ang anti-dengue vaccine taliwas sa tingin ng publiko.

“…misunderstanding of the benefits and risks associated with the dengue vaccine and a lack of awareness amongst the general public, particularly parents of vaccinated children, that the overall benefit of dengue vaccination remains positive in high endemic countries like the Philippines,” patuloy nila.

Nais ng Sanofi na malinis mula sa negatibong tingin ang Dengvaxia at maibalik ang tiwala ng publiko sa naturang bakuna.

“We have asked the DOH for a meeting to discuss any questions they may have regarding the reimbursement and also to find ways to inform the Filipino public in a more balanced and evidence-based way on dengue vaccination while also restoring public trust in vaccination programs, in general.”

Pumutok ang isyu ng Dengvaxia matapos malaman ang panganib na dala ng gamot sa mga taong nabakunahan na hindi pa nagkakaroon ng dengue.

Sa kabuuan ay nasa P3.5 bilyon ang ginastos ng gobyerno para sa Dengvaxia na sinimulang ipatupad sa ilalim ng administrasyon ni dating Pangulo Benigno Aquino III.
