Sandiganbayan acquits Janette Garin and co-accused in the ₱3.5-billion Dengvaxia graft case
The Sandiganbayan acquitted Janette Garin and her co-accused in a graft case over the ₱3.5-billion Dengvaxia dengue vaccine programme (GMA News, Inquirer). The reports reviewed do not give the court’s reasoning.
The vaccine programme caused a public-health scare and a long legal fight, so an acquittal closes one major strand.
It does not change vaccination policy. Other cases linked to the programme may continue.
An acquittal on graft is not a finding on the health controversy. Wait for the written decision.
