After Dengvaxia scare, measles cases soar to 598

MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Health (DOH) has recorded 598 cases of measles from January 1 to March 17, a huge spike from the figures in the same period last year.

Health Secretary Francisco Duque III confirmed this to Rappler on Tuesday, April 3.


“We have 598 confirmed cases from January 1 to March 17, 2018. There are 12 deaths,” Duque said in a phone interview. (READ: You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.)

Of the 393 cases, only 9 cases were classified as laboratory-confirmed measles while 107 cases are laboratory-confirmed rubella cases.

There were no deaths recorded between January to March 2017.

Why are measles cases increasing? Duque attributed the rising cases to panic triggered by the Dengvaxia scare. French pharmaceutical giant Sanofi Pasteur earlier admitted that people who got the dengue vaccine but had no prior infection with the virus can experience worse cases of dengue.

The government's use of Dengvaxia in its dengue immunization program was the subject of congressional probes, where some parents attributed their children's death to Dengvaxia.

Because of this, some parents are now scared to get their children vaccinated for other diseases that could be prevented through immunization programs. (READ:You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.)

“The number one reason is still the fear that the Dengvaxia has generated, thereby eroding the trust in our other vaccines, innocent vaccines,” said Dique.

He also attributed the increase of cases in the Mindanao area to the tendency of people there to move from one place to another because of their livelihood, like fishing.

What is the DOH doing about it? Currently, DOH is employing its outbreak response immunization program to convince more people to get themselves vaccinated for measles.

Duque said supplemental immunization activities are also being conducted to achieve “herd immunity” status, where people who already have measles will be “walled off” from the rest of the population.

The DOH chief also urged parents to avail of free immunization programs for their children.

“That’s why we appeal to the parents that these measles vaccines are very safe and are quite protective of the infection that may have severe complications in unprotected, unvaccinated children,” said Duque. – Rappler.com

hoard ang s a n o f i p a s t e u r jan. hindi lang naman kasi iisang shot dapat ang dengvaxia. instead na maka protect, nag cause pa ng death ng ilang mga inosenteng bata. (based on what I heard and read). nakakalungkot.

Sino ang dapat sisihin

Matalap ang Torbetet

Limot...limot, tige na.
Pahingi ng limot
Bibili kati ako ng torbetet
Matalap tiptipin ang torbetet
Dahil ito ay tunay na malata at matalap

Buti na lang, may itang babae nagbigay
Ta akin ng tampung pito
Wala pa tiyang atawa
Ang ibig tabihin
Tiya ay "Tingle"

Ang taya-taya ko
Dahil mahilig ako sa "tingle"
At kung ako mag aatawa
Gusto ko ay "tingle"

Akala nung babae, pinagtatawanan ko sya
Bigla tiyang nagalit
Ang tabi niya "bakit?"
Matama bang maging "tingle"?
Anong matama sa "tingle"?

Bigla namang dumating yung
bading niyang katama
Inaway ako...Tinuntok ako sa note!
Ang takit-takit ng aking note!
Kaya tabi ko ta kanya
Lagot ka ta akin!
Itutumbong kita!

Ang tabi niya ta akin
"Puro ka tumbong, puro ka tumbong!"
Wala kang alam gawin kundi tumbong!
Kaya ang ginawa ko
Tinigawan ko tiya!
Ang tabi ko, "wag mo ako tititihhin"
"Kati kilala kita"
Wala ka rin alam
Kundi ang maniti, nang maniti...
Puro ka titi! puro ka titi! puro ka titi!
puro ka titi....

Kaya ang mabuti pa
Kayo ang magtabi
Kung tino ta aming dalawa
Ang dapat itumbong at titihin

Talamat po!
 
Ang totoo kasi ang namatay ay yung mga bata na hindi nagka-dengue ay nagpa-bakuna ng dengvaxia.. Yung mga bata nagka dengue nagpabakuna ng dengvaxia ok naman sila, it means hindi pwedeng bakunahan ng dengvaxia ang taong walang sintomas ng dengue...

hindi pa po yata proven nang mga eksperto na ang mga namatay na bata na ipinakita nila Dr. Acosta ay namatay dahil sa severe dengue.
 
Haba ng answer ni doc pamihado, para sakin ts simple lahat ng mga gahamang hinayupak na may kinalaman sa procurement ng salot na vaccine na to ang dapat sisihin, clearly may lapses sa naging desisyon at execution nito, dahil sa kapabayaan nila eto ang naging resulta.
 
Lack of information dissemination on DOH part, sana gumawa sila nang nationwide campaign ads na nag explain na safe yung mga ibang vaccine na decades tested. Yung nangyari kasi media outlets mismo gumawa nang panic tapos samahan mo pa yung anti-aquino propaganda nang mga pro-DU30.
