Transcript
00:00We are here at Dr. Alejandro Albert Elementary School here in Sampaloc, Manila
00:05where the kick-off ceremony for the Department of Health's Vaccine School will be held.
00:11The aim of this is to vaccinate the students who have not received the vaccine,
00:16especially during the pandemic and this is the third year.
00:19So of course, in this vaccine, the children will be able to avoid the diseases that they may get
00:25if they do not receive this vaccine.
00:27To clarify what protection this vaccine will give, we will talk to the Secretary of the Department of Health,
00:36Secretary Ted Niroboza. Sir, Secretary, good morning.
00:39Good morning, Susana, and good morning to all the viewers here at GMA.
00:44For the vaccine that the students will receive for the Vaccine School,
00:48which is supported by the Department of Health and the DepEd,
00:51what kind of diseases will be given to protect the children?
00:56There are measles, rubella, or German measles, tetanus, diphtheria, and human papilloma virus.
01:05The last vaccine, HPV, is what prevents cervical cancer in women.
01:11So we will be vaccinating Grade 1, Grade 7, and Grade 4 women.
01:17Secretary, for three years during the pandemic, we did not receive any vaccines
01:22because of course, we were locked in our homes.
01:25Do you monitor if there were significant increases in the number of diseases that we are mentioning?
01:32That's right. Because for three years, we did not receive a vaccination for the school age.
01:37There were many pertussis outbreaks, many measles outbreaks.
01:41In fact, last March, we received measles outbreak response immunization in BARMM.
01:48We vaccinated almost 2 million kids.
01:51Because they had an outbreak, they started going to school.
01:55Because the kids were nine years old, there was no vaccine.
01:59So there were infections that were transmitted to the kids, and there were deaths.
02:03So we received measles response during Ramadan.
02:08But they helped, we were able to vaccinate 1.3 million, 1.2 million children.
02:14But Secretary, how can we encourage and convince parents?
02:20Of course, parents need to have consent to be vaccinated.
02:24So that their worries disappear.
02:26We know that parents have worries, worries.
02:32What message do we want to give to parents?
02:35Susan, there are many fake news on social media, anti-vaxxers,
02:40that their children should not be vaccinated.
02:42That's wrong.
02:44Vaccination is the best public health measure.
02:49In fact, if you have a country and you don't have money,
02:51just pour it into the vaccine.
02:53You will be able to prevent many diseases.
02:55Many children will not die.
02:58So vaccination is very important.
03:00And these vaccines are time-tested.
03:03We are still young, we have already been vaccinated.
03:06I'm sure the mothers there were also vaccinated by their children.
03:09That's why they did not have these diseases.
03:12For example, Secretary, a student has allergic reactions to vaccines.
03:18What should be done?
03:21If the child had an allergic reaction during the vaccination,
03:26what should be done?
03:27Actually, the allergic reactions to these vaccines are very low
03:30because they have been used for a long time.
03:32Maybe a little pain on the injection site,
03:35and sometimes it gets infected.
03:37Actually, it's better if it gets infected.
03:39Because it means that his immune system is triggered.
03:42So the medical team of the Department of Health is here
03:45if there is an allergic reaction.
03:47And it's easy to treat the allergy.
03:49So it's very important to give him an anti-allergy.
03:52And you will immediately know that he has an allergy because of the vaccine.
03:55When will we start vaccinating?
03:58And how long is this program?
04:01This program is two months.
04:03October and November.
04:05And every Friday, our vaccine teams will go to all public schools
04:10to vaccinate Grade 1, Grade 7, and Grade 4 girls.
04:16Thank you, Secretary. Good luck.
04:19And I hope that our parents are listening to the call of the Department of Health
04:26to vaccinate their children.
04:29This is the vaccine school of the Department of Health.
