DOH reminds Filipinos to have kids vaccinated despite COVID19 lockdown
MANILA — With around 2 million Filipino children at risk of missing vaccinations, the Department of Health on Friday reminded the public that they can still have their children immunized despite the enhanced community quarantine due to COVID-19.
The guidelines include routine immunization for newborn babies up to 1-year-old infants and selective catch-up vaccination of “defaulters” below 5 years old. “Kinakailangang maglista ng healthcare workers ng mga batang hindi nabakunahan at agad na magsagawa ng active catch-up immunization once COVID-19 situation permits,” Vergeire said during a televised briefing.
