Online selling ng branded COVID-19 vaccines , ‘wag bilhin – FDA

ni Lolet Abania | September 30, 2021



Nagbabala ang Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sa publiko hinggil sa pagkuha o pagbili ng COVID-19 vaccines sa pamamagitan ng online selling platforms at social media.


Sa isang advisory ng FDA, target ng naturang “scam” ang mga indibidwal na may partikular na brand ng vaccine na kanilang napili, lalo na ang mga overseas Filipino workers (OFWs). Ang mga nabanggit na COVID-19 vaccines ay AstraZeneca, Pfizer, at Moderna.


“The modus operandi of the scammers includes offering a promo deal like buy 2 take 1 deal. Once you place your order to the online selling platform, the seller will send a chat message and will give his private contact numbers, usually Viber, WeChat or WhatsApp. Payment will be requested to be settled through GCash or bank transfer prior arrangement of delivery,” ayon sa FDA.


“After the payment, another person/number will send a message asking for courier or delivery fee. When the delivery fee has been paid, another person will send a message asking for the payment of the insurance fee. No vaccine product will be delivered even when all payments have been settled,” dagdag pa ng FDA.


Giit ng ahensiya, ang pagma-market at pagbebenta ng COVID-19 vaccines sa bansa sa ngayon ay ipinagbabawal dahil ang mga bakuna ay ibinibigay ng gobyerno nang libre.

Umapela rin ang FDA sa publiko na agad i-report sa ahensiya ang anumang bentahan o distribusyon ng COVID-19 vaccines.


Ayon pa sa FDA, walang tinatawag na counterfeit ng COVID-19 vaccines na available sa bansa.


Sa ngayon, ang Pilipinas ay nakatanggap na ng mahigit sa 70 milyon doses ng COVID-19 vaccine mula sa pitong manufacturers simula noong Pebrero 28, 2021.
