‘INDEED, VACCINES WORK!’

A physician from Manila encouraged her patients and the public to get vaccinated when she got almost 2,000 U/mL of antibodies, weeks after being fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

“Exactly six weeks after I received my second dose of AstraZeneca vaccine, I underwent a COVID 19 S-Antibody Quantitative Test using the ECLIA method. This test detects antibodies and quantifies if a vaccinated person has developed antibodies that can help “prevent” SARS-CoV 2 virus from entering the cells,” Dr. Ricamae Kessiah Manalo wrote on Facebook.

“I would like to share to my patients that my AstraZeneca shots induced my immune system to produce antibodies,” Manalo told The Philippine STAR.

She received her first dose of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine last March 23, 2021 and her second dose on May 18, 2021.

But Manalo stressed that the public doesn’t need to undergo the same antibody testing that she had, saying that “it is not recommended for everybody.”

“I posted this to encourage my patients and other people po that all vaccines work po,” she pointed out.

As of this writing, the post has already garnered more than 7,000 reactions and 8,000 shares. (Photo courtesy of Ricamae Kessiah Manalo)

RAINY DAYS ARE HERE; PROTECT YOURSELF FROM DISEASES!

The Department of Health (DOH) – today advised residents of the region to prepare for the onset of rainy-day illnesses as the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration formally announced the start of the wet season last Friday.

Better build strong resistance against the common illness such as diarrhea, water-borne diseases like as typhoid fever, cholera, leptospirosis, and vector-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue.

Diarrhea is an increase in the frequency of loose or liquid bowel movements usually caused by a variety of bacterial, viral, and parasitic organisms.

Typhoid fever is an infectious disease commonly spread through contaminated food and water or through close contact with someone who is infected.

Cholera is an acute intestinal infection caused by food or water contaminated with the bacteria known as Vibrio cholera. The bacteria cause watery diarrhea that can lead to severe dehydration and death.

Diarrhea, typhoid fever, and cholera are all food- and water-borne diseases. These can be prevented by drinking water only from safe sources. Or if unsure, to boil water for 3 minutes or do water chlorination. Cook food well and always have it covered to prevent contamination from flies and other insects. Always wash hands before preparing or handling food and after using the toilet.

Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection transmitted by many animals, such as rodents and other vermin. Waste products (such as urine and f***s) of an infected animal, especially rats, contaminate the soil, water, and vegetation, especially during floods. Authorities advise to avoid swimming or wading in potentially contaminated flood waters, and maintain cleanliness in the house to ensure control of rodents or rats.

Dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever are acute viral infections that are caused by the bite of the dengue-carrying mosquito. Dengue can be avoided by practicing the 4-S against the disease which stands for search and destroy, self-protection measures, seek early consultation, and say yes to fogging when there is an impending outbreak or hotspot.

Malaria is a serious and sometimes fatal disease caused by a parasite that commonly infects certain type of mosquito which feeds on humans. It can be prevented by using long lasting insecticidal mosquito nets, especially during nighttime, and by following the advice of health workers on how to take anti-malaria drugs.

Personal hygiene including proper hand washing and regular community clean-up helps to combat these diseases.

Also practice minimum health protocols like social distancing, proper cough etiquette and wearing of face mask are also recommended to avoid transmission and spread of these illnesses.

💉💉💉

TIGNAN: Binigyang linaw ng Kagawaran ng Kalusugan ang kumakalat na mensahe patungkol sa COVID-19. Ito ay idineklara ng WHO bilang isang global pandemic. Ito ay nakakahawa at nagdudulot ng malubhang sakit na naging sanhi ng pagkamatay ng higit na 3 milyong tao sa buong mundo. Ang mga bakuna ay ligtas at hindi naglalaman ng magnets, microchips, at "trackers". Karagdagan dito, ang pagsuot ng face mask ay epektibo upang hindi mahawa ng COVID-19. Hindi rin nakaka-suffocate ang pasgsuot ng mask.

The Department reminds the public to always verify information found online only with legitimate sources. Maging BIDA, alamin ang tamang impormasyon!
