The Philippines launched an annual routine and catch-up immunization drive to reach at least 1 million children who have not received any routine vaccinations, including the more than half of vaccine-eligible children born during the Covid-19 pandemic who have not received a single shot. During “Chikiting Bakunation Days,” the health department will administer vaccines against polio, measles, hepatitis B, pneumonia, and other vaccine-preventable diseases during the last week of each month in April, May, and June.
