In light of recent events regarding the dengue being en epedemic in the country, it is only our duty to strive qnd to educate people towards a better and safer life by providing them factual information. The challenge we are facing right now is how to educate people about this.

 

Although this might seem promising, we cannot deny the fact that the Philippines' situation integrating these changes will be difficult.

 

Now is the perfect time that the government do something about it, especially now that the situation tell us that we should do so. Because of the public uproar caused by the public due to Dengvaxia, citizens are afraid to vaccinate children and the rise of anti-vaxers are nothing but powerful. Recently the Department of Health reported a 10 year old girl died of diptheria, a disease we haven't seen in decades.

 

In our times today, disease that are disintegrated from atleast the beginning of the century has resurfaced once more. Measles, polio, and now diptheria. Lets not also forget about the dengue and african swine fever outbreak that happened and is currently spreading not only in our country but in the South East Asia.

 

These outbreaks are something to be treated seriously with. Not only these things stain the inage of the country but, this also harms our country in every single way. It defies the main responsibility of the government-to serve the people.

 

It is only right and just for the government to make an action. Are simply barangay initiatives enough for long-rmterm situation? Yes, it is better than nothing, but that is not the point. The government should bring back Dengvaxia and impose a harder rule on integrating vaccinations in the country.
