A total of 221,490 children in Quezon City were vaccinated by the local government against Measles and Rubella in February.
Children aged nine months to five years old were vaccinated by the Quezon City Health Department (CHD) through the city’s simultaneous immunization drive.
The local government said that the number of vaccinated children already reached 95.35 percent of its total target, which is under the Department of Health’s (DOH) #ChiktingLigtas vaccination activity.
The local government on Thursday said its vaccination drive will continue even the month-long campaign of DOH already ended.
“Kahit natapos na po ‘yung month-long campaign ng DOH for measles and rubella vaccination (Even the DOH’s month-long campaign against measles and rubella vaccination has already ended), the city will continue to give it to our kids for free,” City Health Department head, Dr. Esperanza Anita Escaño-Aria said.
