MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— Former Department of Health (DOH) secretary Janette Garin on Wednesday described as “full of half-truths” Senator Richard Gordon’s recommendations based on the draft findings on the Dengvaxia vaccination investigation by the Senate\u2019s Blue Ribbon Committee.<\/p>\n

“I believe that the narrative is full of inaccuracies and half-truths, which reflects only the long perceived pre-judgment of the issue by Senator Gordon,” Garin said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The former health chief said the draft was one-sided and replete with innuendos of expedited government action.<\/p>\n

“Timely and responsive government action is not a violation of the law. Moreover, the ‘report’ is just the personal opinion of Senator Gordon, which has not been vetted by the Senate,” Garin added.<\/p>\n

She also denied the accusation that the implementation of the Dengvaxia vaccination was done hastily.<\/p>\n

“It was former secretary Ona who declared that there was a dengue epidemic when he was secretary of health,” Garin said, adding that her successor, former secretary Paulyn Ubial, even expanded the anti-dengue program, an indication of the importance of the immunization program.<\/p>\n

Noting that her conscience is clear, Garin said she is ready to face the accusation against her.<\/p>\n

“I am ready to answer any charge that will be filed in the proper forum,” she added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
