Mandaluyong Mayor Menchie Abalos led the kick-off of “Bakuna Eskwela” held in collaboration with the City Health Department, Department of Health (DOH), Department of Education (DepEd), and the Schools Division Office (SDO-Mandaluyong).
The MR and Td vaccines were administered to students in Grades 1, 2, and 7. Meanwhile, Grade 4 girls who are nine years old and above received the HPV vaccine, which is a safe and effective way to prevent cervical cancer.
The City Health Department emphasized the importance of the vaccines which provide protection against diseases that may lead to serious complications and can be life-threatening.
It explained that the MR vaccine protects against measles, which may cause complications such as pneumonia, ear infections, encephalitis, malnutrition, and even death. Rubella, or German measles, is particularly dangerous for pregnant women, as it can result in miscarriage or serious birth defects.
Parents and students were also informed about the importance of protection against diphtheria and tetanus.
According to the department, diphtheria can form thick patches in the throat and may be fatal, while tetanus is a serious illness that causes painful muscle contractions, or lockjaw, and can also be life-threatening if not treated promptly.
