The Quezon City regional trial court was asked to stop the implementation of the Department of Health’s directive to have five-to-11 years old children vaccinated against the coronavirus disease without the consent of their parents.
The petitioners were assisted in their pleading by the Department of Justice’s Public Attorney’s Office . “The DOH Memorandum was issued in grave abuse of discretion and unconstitutional, given all the red flags against administration of COVID-19 vaccines to children,” they said. Almelor and Samonte said the DOH memorandum is unconstitutional for violating Section 15, Article II of the 1987 Constitution which provides that “the State shall protect and promote the right to health of the people and instill health consciousness among them.”
Also, citing the Title IX of the Family Code, the two parents said that “parental authority and responsibility may not be renounced or transferred except in the cases authorized by law.”
