Childhood vaccination is by no means new. It is a safe, well-established, and proven way to protect children from several potentially deadly infectious diseases and their complications.

Vaccinating your child is, OF COURSE, a parental decision. But if you are considering not vaccinating your child, please take the time to discuss that decision with a PEDIATRICIAN or another DOCTOR you trust. It is an important decision that can affect not only your child’s health, but also the health of those around them and the wider community.

‼️‼️‼️COVID-19 continues to circulate in our communities, even though many people are no longer routinely testing, so actual infections may be higher than reported. Fortunately, most children continue to have mild illness, but infants, children with underlying medical conditions, and other high-risk individuals remain vulnerable to severe disease. Families are encouraged to stay home when sick, test when appropriate, practice good respiratory hygiene, and seek medical attention if symptoms worsen. By continuing these simple precautions, we can help protect our children, loved ones, and the community from COVID-19 and other respiratory infections.

Covid cases are circulating in our communities once again. 🦠

The Pediatric Infectious Disease Society of the Philippines (PIDSP) reminding all parents to keep their guards up.

No need to panic—just time to bring back those safe, healthy habits:
🏠 Stay home if sick
😷 Mask up in crowded spaces
🧪 Test if symptoms develop

‼️‼️ The Philippine Pediatric Society recommends the need to restrict unsupervised social media use among children and adolescents aged 16 and below. This reflects growing evidence of developmental vulnerability, sleep disruption, exposure to harmful content, and risks linked to compulsive platform use. Online safety is not optional, it is protective care. Keeping children safe in digital spaces is a shared responsibility among families, schools, healthcare professionals, platforms, and policymakers.
