🚨 BAGUIO & CORDILLERA PARENTS—THIS IS TIMELY.
Right now, there is an ongoing Measles-Rubella Supplemental Immunization Activity (MR SIA) from DOH Cordillera in our region. If you have a question about measles, rubella, or if your kid's eligible—this episode is for you.
"Tigdas Lang 'Yan?" The Truth About Measles, Rubella & Vitamin A Every Parent Must Know
As a parent (or kung may anak, apo, o kakilala kang may maliit na bata), we have a question for you:
When your child has a fever and a rash, what do you do first? Google? Ask a friend? Consult a health worker?
Here's the thing—many of us have misconceptions about measles, rubella, at Vitamin A. Like:
❌ "Tigdas lang naman, dadaan din 'yan"
❌ "Nabakunahan na dati, safe na"
❌ "Vitamin A lang, safe kahit sobra"
No. No. And no.
That's why we made this episode of Health Matters: Insights for a Better Life—for each parent, lola, caregiver, teacher, and barangay health worker who wants to keep our kids safe and healthy.
