The three confirmed positive pertussis cases in Bacolod City were all discharged from the hospitals in the city, Dr. Grace Tan, head of the City Health Office Environmental Sanitation Division, said Thursday, April 11. Tan said the three babies, two females, and one male, already recovered from pertussis, or whooping cough.
They only received one dose of the Pentavalent vaccine because based on the national immunization program, this vaccine will be given to children aged six weeks, 10 weeks and 14 weeks. Tan noted that one of the factors of the pertussis cases was due to hot weather and the decrease in the vaccination status of the children. She said the close contacts of confirmed cases were traced for antibiotics prophylaxis.
