The Department of Health (DOH) on Tuesday said that they will coordinate with the different homeowners association to ensure that all children will be given anti-polio vaccine.

Health Undersecretary Rolando Enrique Domingo said that they are experiencing difficulties in reaching the children who reside in “gated communities and subdivisions.”

“We are coordinating with the homeowners association for them to set up ‘patak’ centers in their subdivisions or to, at least, have their children checked if their private physicians have already given them vaccines,” he added. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization and the United Nations Children’s Fund has issued a joint statement urging parents to let their children be given the anti-polio vaccine.
