IMUS CITY, Cavite – Mayor Emmanuel Maliksi warned his constituents who were reportedly lying about their vaccine brand and dose, reiterating that falsifying one's vaccination details is prohibited under the law.
"Inilapit sa ating atensyon ang gawain ng iilang mga nagpapabakuna sa ating vaccination sites: may nagbubura at pinapalitan ang kanilang vaccine brand, o nagpapanggap na first dose pa lamang nila (It has come to our attention that some people are tampering with their vaccination details by changing the vaccine brand or pretending that it is only their first dose)," Mayor Emmanuel Maliksi wrote on Facebook on Wednesday (Jan. 6).
"Maging patas naman tayo, at isipin ang mga kababayan nating hindi pa nababakunahan (Let us be fair and think of our fellowmen who haven't been inocculated yet)," he added.
The local government unit (LGU), meanwhile, received a supply of Molnupiravir, an antiviral medication used to treat coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The oral antiviral will be given to patients who are under home quarantine.
Cavite's active COVID-19 cases soared from 327 on Dec. 31 to 1,156 on Jan. 5. The province is under Alert Level 3 from Jan. 5 to 15.
