💟 Adapted fat content and nutrients as they grow

The CDC just released their latest data on kindergarten vaccination rates, showing fewer children are immunized against polio, measles, diphtheria, and pertussis. Fortunately, most parents vaccinate their children. Every parent, policymaker, and public health leader in the country should be coming together to increase access to vaccines.

❕DOH: PANATILIHIN ANG KALINISAN SA MGA PAARALAN PARA MAIWASAN ANG HAWAHAN NG SAKIT, GAYA NG HAND FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE❕

Sa pagpapatuloy ng klase sa mga paaralan, paalala ng DOH na panatilihin ang kalinisan sa katawan at paligid, lalo na sa mga silid-aralan at lugar kung saan namamalagi ang mga bata.

Kahit pababa ang trend ng bilang ng mga kaso ng Hand Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD) mula Mayo 18-31, 2025 (1,964 cases) papuntang Hunyo 1-14, 2025 (1,363 cases), hindi dapat maging kampante dahil mabilis itong makahawa kung hindi mag-iingat.

Ang isang batang may HFMD ay maaaring makahawa ng higit sa 2 na ibang bata, at maari pa itong dumami kapag nasa closed spaces gaya ng bahay at eskwelahan.

🖐👣 Ang mga kadalasang sintomas ng HFMD ay:
📌 lagnat
📌 singaw sa bibig
📌 sakit sa lalamunan
📌 mga butlig sa palad, talampakan, o puwit

❗️Makaiiwas sa HFMD sa pamamagitan ng:

✅Paghuhugas ng kamay gamit ang sabon at malinis na tubig, o paggamit ng alcohol-based sanitizer
✅Pag-iwas sa paghawak sa mukha, lalo na sa mata, ilong, at bibig
✅Pagpapanatili ng kalinisan at pagdisinfect ng mga kagamitan

SCREEN TIME. Part 1.

Sorry to be party poopers.. but really, while you have absolute control of your baby or toddler’s life, and they are not subject to peer pressure yet, don’t make iPads, tabs or phones a part of their life. So many things fascinate them, let them enjoy the simple beauty and discoveries in life .That means parents have to put away that phone during play and dinner time too , unfortunately. Monkey see , monkey do 🙊

True healthcare should address the root cause.
