“The need to vaccinate children is crucial for us to halt the ongoing polio outbreak and prevent an impending measles outbreak,” said PRC Chairman and Senator Richard Gordon. “Let us protect our children as early as now,” he added.
The PRC has rolled out its SIA activity starting Feb. 1 as part of its continued support to the second phase of “Chikiting Ligtas,” the vaccination program of the Department of Health (DOH) for 2021.
