00:00The Bacuna Eskwela Program of the Department of Health and the Department of Education

00:04has now reached its target of vaccinating more than 3 million students in Benidorango, Italy.

00:14It's time to vaccinate again.

00:15After a few years of being suspended due to the pandemic,

00:18Bacuna Eskwela has again opened to grade schoolers.

00:21DOH and DepEd partnered to vaccinate the 3.8 million students from grades 1 to 7 across the country.

00:28It started at Dr. Albert Elementary School in Manila.

00:32Its target is to lower the number of children who are sick.

00:35So even if their children cry,

00:37their children will be approved to be vaccinated for free

00:41against tetanus, rubella, diphtheria, and tetanus.

00:44According to the DOH, from January to December this year,

00:48the list of cervical cancer cases is at first,

00:50where there are less than 8,000 diagnosed cases and more than half are dying.

00:56This is followed by tigdans and rubella,

00:58where 11 are dying from more than 3,000 cases.

01:0225 are diagnosed with more than 200 cases of diphtheria,

01:06while more than half are diagnosed with 81 cases of tetanus.

01:10This is not forced, said the DOH,

01:13but they will take time to explain to the parents

01:16what is best for the children.

01:18Asek Galvan, his aunt died of cervical cancer.

01:24His mother vaccinated his son.

01:27A child who was vaccinated is a very good recipient.

01:30Sir, is this voluntary?

01:32Yes, this is voluntary.

01:34Sir, there are parents who are dying.

01:36What is the reason for this?

01:38We are trying to convince them.

01:40The good thing about school-based vaccines is that

01:42we know the children who are not vaccinated.

01:44So over the next two months,

01:46there is a schedule.

01:48We can go and talk to them and we can convince them.

01:50Our teams are coming back

01:53to talk to them about why they are not vaccinated.

01:55There are different reasons.

01:57Most are afraid of side effects.

01:59Because of the recent issues about vaccines,

02:0140% or 4 out of 10 parents

02:03agreed to vaccinate their children.

02:05We are already in the 90s.

02:0790% are willing to get vaccinated.

02:09But because of what happened in Denbaksha,

02:11it dropped to the 40s.

02:13Now, we are not recovering from this.

02:15His mother, Karen,

02:17gave HPV to his son, Briana.

02:19She is taking care of him because

02:21he has cervical cancer in his family.

02:23So when they found out that there is a free vaccine in the school,

02:25they went and got vaccinated.

02:27It helped me a lot.

02:29I asked other people what their opinion is.

02:31Everything I asked was positive.

02:33DOH and Handep-Ed

02:35are sure that the vaccine is enough

02:37and they will finish it within two months.

02:39The vaccine is life-saving.

02:41If you are not vaccinated,

02:43it is clearly disinfected.

02:45What can happen to a child

02:47in extreme cases

02:50if there is no vaccine?

02:52It is expected that this will be done

02:54in other schools

02:56across the country in the coming days.
