Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto warned citizens from purchasing fake COVID-19 vaccines being sold online.
In his official Twitter account, Mayor Sotto posted a screenshot of a seller offering 50 vials of fake Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines for P60,000.
"Beware!! Wag bumili sa mga ganito! Picture pa lang kita nang mali ang handling. Maglolokohan lang kayo niyan (Beware!! Do not buy from these people! You can see the mishandling just from the photo of it. They’re just going to fool you around)," Sotto said in his post.
"Dapat dumaan sa nasyonal na pamahalaan ang pagbili ng kahit anong bakuna. For our safety (The purchase of vaccines must go through the national government first. For our safety)," he added.
He also reminded the public that healthcare workers are the ones who will be vaccinated first once the first batch of vaccines arrives in the country.
