DOH Secretary Enrique Ona said that parents should not miss this given opportunity for their children to get vaccinated.

The nationwide immunization for measles will be given to children from 8-9 years old. The children can also be re-vaccinated in twenty-eight days after the last immunization.

The said nationwide program is a two-in-one injection wherein DOH also targets giving vaccines against German measles, which is regarded as a silent disease.

DOH considers this a big aid for parents to save Php 15,000 cost for a measles victim.
