The Philippine Red Cross (PRC) has announced its participation in the Department of Health's Measles-Rubella and Polio Supplementary Immunization campaign that started on Monday, May 1, and will last until May 31. ManilaBulletin

The program, called "Chikiting Ligtas," was designed to "avert an outbreak of measles, following the lower-than-expected turnout in previous immunization campaigns, especially during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic."

The campaign aims to administer the measles-rubella vaccine to children nine to 59 months old and the polio vaccine to children zero to 59 months old. PRC said that its involvement with the immunization drive is part of its commitment to promoting healthcare in the country. "We are proud to be part of this campaign to eliminate measles, rubella, and polio in the Philippines. As an organization that is committed to promoting health and well-being, we believe that the power of immunization cannot be overstated. It is a vital tool in protecting our communities and preventing the spread of diseases.
