“It is expected to be here until September, and usually start to wane after October, once the rainy season starts to go,” said Health Undersecretary Rolando Enrique Domingo.“It’s definitely the water, especially now that we’re having rains. It rains today and will stop a couple of days so we have stagnant water there. Two to three days is enough for the life cycle of the mosquitoes. So, if the water is there for two to three days, it is enough to generate more mosquitoes,” explained Domingo.
The DOH has also called on other government agencies, local government units, schools, offices, and communities to conduct the “Sabayang 4-O’clock Habit para Deng-Get Out”, which focuses on the search and destruction of mosquito breeding sites.“The main strategy is to make sure that we remove the vector which is the mosquito. We have to work together to make sure that the cleanliness is there…,” said Domingo.
“Dengue follows this pattern when if you have low years, like usually two years and then the third year it spikes, it’s a global phenomenon. We checked our data from the WHO and we’ve seen that we have 200 [or] 300 percent increases in neighboring countries,” he said. “Early treatment and management is also key to make sure if a kid has dengue that they will survive the illness,” he added.

Remember Mcbeth, “to be or not to be”... i advocated “experts” alone and only, make public unbiased, uncommercialized and apolitical research be made public, if any🧐😉🧐 jovicyeeINQ I am no expert sir but I think 2 weeks is too long with the current rise of dengue. My question would be, is dengvaxia the only known vaccine for dengue? Cause if there are others why are you still pushing for dengvaxia. Use a vaccine with good credibility that has been tested. jovicyeeINQ your right sir, there could be others out there, who knows, not me, you or loquacious pundits. It became 'household' due the dengvaxiagate scandal overshadowing what kind of animal this med if really a med is all about.
