Hinihikayat ngayon ng Department of Health (DOH) ang mga Pilipinong magpabakuna sa biglaang pagtaas ng kaso ng measles (tigdas) at pertussis — bagay na pwedeng ikamatay.
A child reacts during a Philippine Read Cross Measles Outbreak Vaccination Response in Baseco compound, a slum area in Manila on February 16, 2019. A growing measles outbreak in the Philippines killed at least 25 people last month, officials said, putting some of the blame on mistrust stoked by a scare over an anti-dengue fever vaccine.
Dahil sa pagkaantala ng mga routine at primary case noong pandemya, umabot na agad sa 453 ang pertussis cases sa Pilipinas sa unang 10 buwan ng 2024. "This cough, in typical cases, will develop into a characteristic hacking cough. Pertussis can be treated by antibiotics, but it is best prevented through vaccination."
"Measles is highly contagious. It spreads from infected individuals through the air, especially through coughing or sneezing," patuloy ng DOH. Inihayag ng Philippine Space Agency na posibleng bumagsak sa katubigan ng Ilocos Sur at Catanduanes ang debris ng Chinese rocket.
