ACTIVITY DESIGN

I. Title : LAUNCHING OF POLIO OUTBREAK RESPONSE IMMUNIZATION

II. Venue : Davao del Sur Provincial Coliseum, Matti, Digos City

III. Date : October 14, 2019

IV. Rationale of the Activity:

The, together with other countries in the Western Pacific Region, has been declared
polio-free since October 2000. This progress has been achieved through a strong routine
immunization coverage coupled with regular conduct of supplementary immunization activities
known as “Patak Polio”, and complemented by highly sensitive surveillance system in the
country.
In recent Philippines years, vaccination coverage for the 3 doses of oral polio vaccine
(OPV3) has been steadily declining below the target required to ensure population protection
against polio. It is estimated that more than 4 million children who were born between 2013 to
2018 were missed for OPV3 1 . This gap in population immunity against polio continues to
widen in the Philippines.
In the 2019 Polio risk assessment, the whole country is at high risk for polio due to
persistently low immunization coverage leading to significant accumulation of susceptible
population coupled with persistently low surveillance performance. The Acute Flaccid
Paralysis (AFP) surveillance has an overall decreasing performance since 2016. In addition, the
practice of open defecation, poor and unhygienic sanitation practices still persist in urban and
rural communities which put the country at high risk for polio re-circulation.
Recently, the routine environmental surveillance detected the presence of vaccine-derived
poliovirus (VDPV) in several sampling sites in Metro Manila and Davao. A vaccine derived
poliovirus 2 has been isolated from two (2) human cases presenting with Acute Flaccid
Paralysis (AFP). While the Philippines has been certified polio-free in 2000, the detection of
poliovirus in both human and the environment raises the concern of re-circulation of
polioviruses in the country.
The Secretary of Health declared a polio epidemic in 19 September. To respond, the
Department of Health (DOH) together with the respective CHDs and LGUs will conduct three
(3) rounds of polio outbreak response immunization which is a critical action to guarantee high
population immunity among under 5 years old children and protect the population from the
consequences of polio virus recirculation.

The results showed that the Province of Davao del Sur accomplished only 72.8 % in
2017 and declined more in 2018 at 65.4 % in 2019. January to June Oral Polio Vaccination on
covered 25 % od Children. Low coverage has been seen as primary reason for its probability to
spread vaccine preventable diseases.

Poor analysis, low feedback and utilization for decision making and planning for
immediate interventions to address the decreasing trend of Fully Immunized Children and catch
up immunization activities are the major gaps . While initiatives for an active surveillance both
in environment of other vaccine reportable diseases is imperative. Moreover, improved routine
immunization service delivery of 95 % before a child reached one year old at all levels must be
established .

V. Objectives of the Activity

 To ensure a high quality polio outbreak response immunization targeting at least 95% of
children aged 0-59 months in each barangay, municipality or city of selected areas to
interrupt the transmission of poliovirus..
