Taguig City launched on Friday its school-based immunization (SBI) program showing its preparedness and immediate compliance to the Department of Health (DOH) order, being the first local government unit in the National Capital Region (NCR) to implement the program this year which started last June 24.

The event was dubbed as Back to Bakuna: School-Based Immunization Kick-off Activity at Signal Village National High School in Taguig.

“This Back to Bakuna program is one example of the cooperation of these agencies to ensure that our children are healthy,” the Taguig City Mayor added. For this year, more than 19,000 Taguigeño pupils and educators are set to be immunized by the local government as part of its yearly SBI. And as of May 2019, 6,087 of them have already been vaccinated.

Under its school-based immunization program, the City Health Office offers MRTD vaccines to Grades 1 and 7 pupils while human papillomavirus doses were given to Grade 4 and Grade 5 students.
