The health sector is working double time to immunize Filipino children against preventable diseases. Latest data show, around 1.4 million children born during the COVID-10 pandemic have not had a single vaccine. Even before the pandemic, the Philippines was among the top ten countries with the highest number of under vaccinated or unvaccinated children.

To address this, the Health department, World Health Organization and the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) launched a vaccination drive called 'Chikiting Bakunation Days.'

To tell us more is Dr. Carla Ante-Orozco. She's an immunization specialist at UNICEF Philippines.
