The Provincial Health Office in Negros Occidental is awaiting the arrival of its procured pentavalent vaccines to conduct catch-up vaccination among children less than 5 years old to curb pertussis. Provincial health officer Dr. Ma. Girlie Pinongan said they expect the 10,000 vials purchased by the province to arrive within the month. “There are local government units which still have remaining vaccine supply, but there is none available for the others,” she said in an interview on Friday.
Latest data of the PHO showed 74 cases of pertussis in 20 out of 31 local government units in Negros Occidental. Based on the test results from the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine, 14 are confirmed cases, including one death. Further, 40 turned out negative, while 20 were probable cases. The patients were all infants aged 0 to 9 months, Pinongan said.
