Im Melissa Chana welcome to news asia its good to have you with us hospitals across Southeast Asia are reporting a sharp rise in dengue fever cases and deaths its a major outbreak of the disease dengue fever is the worlds. The most common
mosquito Borne Disease according to the w. H. O. It infects 390000000 people around the world every year killing more than 25000 this week for the very 1st time the philippines declared a National Alert to combat an almost doubling of dengue cases but treatment of the disease has been complicated by Public Mistrust after a recent Immunization Program there went wrong im talking about the health scare in 2017 when dozens of children died after receiving denver a vaccine administered to 800000. 00 children as part of a Government Health program that program was quickly scuttled and earlier this year manila banned the drug officials also opened criminal proceedings against the vaccines manufacturer and against Public Health officials. To talk more about this were joined by dr viler the w. H. O. Representative to the philippines dr violet can you give us
a sense of whats happening on the ground how bad is the situation. Has good afternoon we share the concern of the government about the record increase in the new cases now with more than 100000 cases weve reported so find close to 500 deaths we are seeing on the ground almost twice as many as cases as in the same period of last year and it is clear that we have to brace for more with the onset of the rains we usually see that in the 2nd half of the year we will have 3 times as many cases as in the 1st half so so we are concerned about the situation i want to talk a bit more about denver the vaccine against dengue fever it looks like the philippines was one of the few countries to have a nationwide rollout of administering this vaccine and im a little curious if other countries have had similar programs with no incident
because its caused a lot of controversy in the country. Riot here if you can it was one of the 1st countries that has introduced a vaccine at large scale and they think of it soon as a fairly recent vaccine and its important to recognize the vaccine can protect some of those whove received the vaccine against onset of severe think of disease but has never been designed as a vaccine to control the epidemic so we wouldnt have expected a decrease of the an impact on the day but only because of the think of it seen rather we know that the epidemic of following. Every 3 to 4 years we will see increase in the new cases around the world and also in the region so the situation of you know see in the philippines here is not unique to few other countries who are also affected of vietnam. Singapore they all
experience right now increases in thinking cases on what is the w. H. S. Position on deadlocks year though because the philippines the government there saying that it is the cause of the death of quite a number of children. So the. Vaccine program in the philippines has been suspended and that is mostly due to. The problem of identifying those who can most benefit from the a vaccine potentially which are people whove already had some pretty exposure to the virus and theres no easy measure at this point in time to identify those people who would be most benefiting from the doing a vaccine at large scale and thats the main reason why the program has been the thing of Exploration Program has been suspended for now now for the Epidemic Control we do recognize that the main measure to now control in mitigate the
effects of the during the epidemic is actually to seek and destroy breeding sides of the most keep those who have busy a vector for transmitting that then the virus and that really is the emphasis right now over the ongoing control efforts in this acute situation that we are experiencing so just to get clarification the delegate a chill cant really comment on whether this vaccine was the cause of these deaths are we just dont know right now its very hard to to stablish cause ation with this kind of thing it is a very serious accusation thats why i wanted to get clarity on it. They feel we know that there were a death cases recorded amongst people who received the think of x. Here and these are cases of people who have really of developing the disease and of dying infection even after having received the vaccine we know that even with the effects in for those who receive the vaccine while it will decrease in those whove
been pretty exposed to the virus the chances of developing the disease we know that was it is not a vaccine that will reduce those chances to 0 so this is the context for having seen also some of the death cases amongst those who receive the vixen.
