00:48According to the Quezon City Epidemiology and Surveillance Division,
00:53more than 300% of TIGDAS and QC cases this year were reported compared to the previous year.
01:00This amounted to more than 100 cases.
01:03The children under the age of 5 are the most affected.
01:07Of these cases, 60% were not yet vaccinated or the vaccine against TIGDAS was not yet complete.
01:14That is why the government and the local government are urging the public
01:19to visit the nearest health center in their area for additional information about the free vaccine.
01:26It is important to complete the two vaccines against TIGDAS.
