MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Health (DOH) assured the public on Thursday that the disposal of wasted COVID-19 vaccines is safe. 'The vaccines that we have procured or the vaccines for COVID-19 that we have in the country are all non-live, meaning all of these vaccines, their components had been modified, including mRNA, so the probability or the risk of having this kind of transmission even after it is buried is very, very minimal,' DOH officer-in-charge Maria Rosario Vergeire said during the Senate blue ribbon committee hearing.
