Hey moms! It's time for a celebration! ๐ช๐ป๐
Why?
Bcos The World Health Organization and the Department of Health announced that the polio outbreak in the country is finally OVER!
If you can still remember, there was a resurgence of polio in our country last September 2019 after 2 decades of declaring the Philippines as polio-free.
And this made the health workers from our local health centers during that time, do a house to house just to give each child a polio vaccine. It was indeed alarming.
The poliovirus usually affects children under 5 years of age who are not fully vaccinated. Our children need both Inactivated Polio Vaccine ( IPV ) and Oral Polio Vaccine ( OPV ) to ensure their protection against polio. That's why they must complete their polio vaccine.
If you are a new mom, I encourage you to get your child vaccinated. Our country has immunization schedules that all of us follow. Also, please do invite other fellow mommas to get their children vaccinated. Let's do our part and be responsible parents to protect our kids and our communities from these deadly diseases. For more information about the Polio vaccine, you may ask your doctor or health care provider about it.
We also have an FB Group the Team BakuNanay. - a community, where moms get accurate information about vaccination, and all new moms and moms who are not yet a BakuNanay, are very welcome to JOIN.
Just head on to this link ๐
