On this final day of the LIGTAS-TIGDAS/ MR-SIA campaign, we extend our deepest gratitude to the responsible parents, guardians, and health workers who understood the critical importance of vaccination and stepped up to protect our community.
Your support has been vital in shielding countless children from preventable outbreaks. At the same time, this milestone serves as a stark reminder of the dangerous reality we face when vaccines are refusedโa choice that needlessly puts innocent children at risk of devastating, life-altering complications such as permanent blindness and even death.
Thank you to the Department of Health , UNICEF Philippines & World Health Organization (WHO) for your concern by visiting our municipality.
Thank you to everyone who stood on the side of health, science, and safety; your commitment ensures a healthier, safer future for the next generation.
