To entice and encourage parents especially yPudtol 5-11 years old children to get their pediatric vaccine, and also to make the vaccination stress/trauma- free, MLGU-Pudtol and the RHU came up with a Disney-themed Amusement Party and Magic Show for the said launching and the target of 300 kids exceeded to 328 vaccinated children!
The program started with welcome remarks given by Dr. Joseph Salting, M.D., the Municipal Health Officer of Pudtol. He also acknowledged the presence of different Department Heads, colleagues and staff, most importantly the participating children and accompanying parents.
Ms. Charlyn Tagabing, DMO V of the Provincial Department of Health Office-Apayao, briefed the parents and kids about the essence of getting the pediatric vaccine.
Hon. Hector Reuel Pascua commended the RHU, other departments, visitors, and participants for the success of the event. Mark Calban, M.D., the Provincial Health Officer I, gave a message about the importance of the program, as well. Ms. Kathy Myer P. Vidad, Nurse II, who took charge of arranging the program to flow smoothly gave her closing remarks and appreciation to the Department Heads, visitors, working teams and attendees.
