NBI to strengthen monitoring of fake COVID-19 vaccines

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has ordered the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to strengthen its monitoring of fake Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines.

DOJ Secretary Menardo Guevarra pointed out that this was after news of fake vaccines from China have been discovered in different countries. The NBI will use its assets to be on the lookout for possible smuggling of the said products.

The agency is also currently probing into the alleged importation and selling of unregistered COVID-19 vaccines.
