BASIC INFORMATION

(Vaccination Program for Senior Citizens of GMA, Cavite)

Target Date: December 2022

Charging/Source: SC & PWD Funds / Municipal Fund

Rationale:

The most effective way to prevent the disease is vaccination. Safe and
effective vaccines are available and have been used for more than 60 years.
Immunity from vaccination wanes over time so annual vaccination is
recommended to protect against influenza. Injected inactivated influenza
vaccines are most commonly used throughout the world.

Among healthy adults, influenza vaccine provides protection, even when

circulating viruses do not exactly match the vaccine viruses. However, among
the elderly, influenza vaccination may be less effective in preventing illness but
reduces severity of disease and incidence of complications and deaths.
Vaccination is especially important for people at high risk of influenza
complications, and for people who live with or care for the people at high risk.

The municipal government of General Mariano Alvarez, Cavite will roll

out and undertake “Serbisyong Pangkalusugan Para kay Lolo at Lola” – an
annual Vaccination Program and Distribution of Safety kits for Senior Citizens.
This activity is part of the holistic health and wellness program for elderly of
GMA, Cavite, to safeguard the health of all the Senior Citizens of the
municipality.

Apart from vaccination and antiviral treatment, the local government

unit and its Municipal Health Office urge the Public to includes personal
protective measures like Regular hand washing with proper drying of the
hands; Good respiratory hygiene – covering mouth and nose when coughing or
sneezing, using tissues and disposing of them correctly; Early self-isolation of
those feeling unwell, feverish and having other symptoms of influenza; Avoiding
close contact with sick people; and Avoiding touching one’s eyes, nose or
mouth.
