TWO individuals - a Quezon City resident and the other from nearby Mandaluyong City - are facing charges for having a third vaccine jab known as a "booster" at QC's vaccination centers, Mayor Josefina "Joy" Belmonte said on Saturday. This man got his second dose of Sinovac in Mandaluyong on May 10 then received another Moderna vaccine shot in QC this week, Belmonte said. Another individual received two doses of Sinovac at one of QC's vaccination centers then bragged of receiving the third dose of Pfizer. We will make sure that once proven, these individuals will be punished accordingly to the fullest extent of the law," according to City Attorney Orlando Paolo Casimiro. The Department of Health has not issued any guidelines on vaccine mixing or booster shots.
