Dr. Marilyn Duyan, PHO-1 of the Kalinga Provincial Local Government Unit (PLGU) highlights the importance of vaccination against measles and rubella, particularly in protecting children and mothers from serious health complications. Measles can cause severe complications in babies and young children, while rubella infection during pregnancy can put unborn babies at serious risk of congenital disabilities and other lifelong health problems.

Vaccination is protection. Vaccination saves lives. By ensuring that children receive their recommended vaccines and that eligible mothers are protected, families can help prevent diseases and their potentially devastating effects.

Listen to Dr. Marilyn Duyan and learn why every vaccine matters.
Protect. Prevent. Vaccinate. Save lives.
