DILG Secretary Eduardo Año In the middle of the national vaccination program against COVID-19, the Department of the Interior and Local Government on Saturday warned local government units and the public against fake Pfizer vaccine. In a statement, DILG Secretary Eduardo Año called on the all local LGU officials down to the barangay level to be on guard after the World Health Organization (WHO) issued an alert that possibly fake Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines are out in the market. Particularly, Año cautioned local executives about their vaccine sources or chain of supply and ensure that all medical products particularly COVID-19 vaccines must be obtained from authorized/licensed suppliers.
