Sanofi tells Philippines no refund for used dengue vaccine

MANILA: French pharmaceutical giant Sanofi on Monday told the Philippines it would not refund the cost of used doses of a dengue vaccine after the vaccination program was suspended over health concerns.

The Philippines had asked Sanofi to refund a total 3.2 billion pesos ($62 million) spent on the public vaccination programme after the company said the vaccine could worsen symptoms in some cases, Health Secretary Francisco Duque said.
