A petition is filed before QC RTC seeking injunction on vaccination for children, says DOH Memo giving State power to give consent "in case parent/guardian refuses to give consent despite the desire and willingness of the minor child" is unconstitutional. | via @lianbuan
@lianbuan Petition, signed by PAO chief Persida Acosta, says DOH rule on State consent power when the parent/guardian refuses violates Family Code clause on parental authority, as well as RA 11525 or Covid Vaccination Program Act because rule "is the same as making vaccination mandatory."
@lianbuan The petition was filed by journalist Dominic Almelor who said he himself has been vaccinated. His co-petitioner Girlie Samonte is mother to two children who had been administered with Dengvaxia.

PAO's anti-dengvaxia cases have been cited as among reasons for vaccine hesitancy.
