Sukob is a Filipino superstitious belief regarding marriage that originated during Spanish colonial times from the Catholic Church. There are two types of Sukob - Sukob sa Kasal, where two blood relatives cannot have marriages in the same year without rescheduling due to a belief of misfortune, and Sukob sa Patay, where a marriage cannot be held if a relative dies that year or else misfortune will occur. While still practiced culturally, Sukob is not based on Christian beliefs.

Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a serious medical condition that occurs when blood pressure in the body's arteries is consistently too high. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of blood vessels as the heart pumps it. Hypertension can increase the risk of heart disease, brain disease, kidney disease, and premature death.

How is this different from the previous campaign?
Measles-free certification will be issued to provinces and cities if all the following
criteria are met:
• All barangays have passed the Rapid Coverage Assessment (RCA) with no
missed child and > 95% house marking accuracy; and
3. • There are no measles cases for the next 3 months after the campaign; and
• Measles surveillance indicators have met the national standard:

visited and children vaccinated.
5. What are the Key Actions on Day of Vaccination?
1. Introduce yourself and state the purpose of the team. If this is the 1st
household visited, write the name and address of this household in the
Recording Form 1: VT Daily Accomplishment Report (see below)
2. The team asks for eligible children ages 9 months to 95 months in the
household. If the child is present at time of visit, instruct the parent to wash
the child’s left upper arm with soap and clean water.
3. Screen the child for any previous serious allergic reaction to vaccination or
any present serious illness. If the child is seriously ill, accompany him/her to
the nearest health facility and obtain the address of the child and schedule
the vaccination for a later date.
4. Give 0.5ml MR vaccine subcutaneously. Use only the auto-disabled
syringe distributed exclusively for the campaign.
5. The vaccinator shall provide key messages to the parents/guardian. These
can be :
• Bring the child to the nearest health center for routine immunizations.
• Manage common minor reactions at home such as fever, swelling and
tenderness at injection site and pain.
• Give paracetamol for pain and fever.
• Avoid touching or applying anything on the injection site. Do not
massage or apply pressure on the injection site.
6. • Bring the child to the nearest health facility if you notice any other
untoward signs and symptoms such as unable to drink or breastfed/
eat, vomits everything, had convulsions, abnormally sleepy or difficult
to awaken, etc.
6. Each child vaccinated with MR shall be issued with an immunization card
provided for this campaign.
7. 7. The recorder marks the Recording Form 1: Vaccination Team’s Daily
Accomplishment Report and immunization card of the child (see below):
8. 8. The recorder marks the house sticker appropriately and posts the sticker.
9. The vaccinator affixes his/her initials or signature in the sticker.
For this campaign, one house sticker will be posted for every household
visited by the VT with or without eligible children. Stickers for marking the
household should be posted prominently by the vaccination team for the
supervisors and monitors to see but cannot be reached by the children.
Write the complete name of the father/mother/caretaker on the space
provided in the sticker. For every visit, write the number of vaccinated children
in the household on the 3rd
row and the number of total eligible children on the
4th
row. An example is shown on the following page:
REYES, Carlos
9. Example:
There are 2 eligible children in the household. Both were present during this
visit. Record“2“in the row for NumberVaccinated and“2“in the row for Numberof
Eligible. Then the vaccinator puts his/her initial signature & date on the 5th
row.
Post the sticker and mark as:

10. How do we record missed children and schedule them for revisits?
If an eligible child is not present during the time of visit:
• Ask the relatives when that child will be available for the vaccination.
• Write the name of the child/children, address/contact number, time to
be revisited in Recording Form 2 (List of Household for Revisits).
• Reiterate to the relative/mother/guardian the schedule (day and time)
of your revisit.
• The recorder posts the household with a sticker and appropriately
record as missed child/children.
Howdowetrackhouseswithmissedchildrenandhowtorevisitthem?
Revisits should be done by the vaccination team until all eligible children in
the household are vaccinated. If not possible for the VT. The team shall inform
the supervisor with all the necessary information so that the supervisor shall
be responsible for revisiting the house of the unvaccinated child/children and
convince the mother/caretaker to vaccinate their child/children.
11. A. Missed Children
Children whose houses visited by the vaccination team but were not available
for vaccination (were not at home, parents refused, etc) are referred to as
“missed”. Households with missed child/children are identified by the mark
“X” in the Recording Form1: Vaccination Team Daily Accomplishment. All those
households with“X”markings shall be recorded in Form 2.
B. Missed Areas
Missed areas or “pockets” are the most dangerous type of campaign failure
because the entire community remains unvaccinated. In such areas, the virus
is likely to persist, flourish and spread to neighboring communities. It is critical
that missed areas are promptly identified and covered during the campaign.
Missed areas often lie in the boundaries between:
• Different vaccination team assignments
• Different barangays
• Urban and rural areas
• Different municipalities or cities
•
Missed areas often are areas that have been forgotten in the past:
• Slum areas
• “New” settlements
• Poor settlements around factories
• Minority communities
• Scattered houses
• High-rise apartments
• Commercial/industrial areas
• Along highways in or between cities
• Along riversides in urban and per-urban areas
• Streets with known street children
12. How do we revisit the missed child?
• Plantheday’srevisit.ChecktheRecordingForm2ofchildrenforrevisits.
• From this list, visit the household(s) with the missed child/children.
• Check the house sticker during the previous visit. This is to ensure that
the household markings match with the VT records.
• Ask the target child to be presented and then vaccinate with MR.
• Mark the house sticker as appropriate.
• Update the recording form.
Example:
In Household A, there are 3 eligible children for the measles-rubella vaccines.
Only2childrenwerevaccinated,1childwaswithhermotherinthesupermarket.
The grandmother informed the vaccination team that the mother and child
will be home on the same day at 6pm. The vaccination team returned and
vaccinated the 1 missed child. House marking shall be:

14. How to administer and handle measles-rubella (MR) vaccines?
Measles-Rubella vaccine shall be used in this campaign. MR should be kept at
+2°C to +8°C.
OnedoseofMRisequivalentto0.5mlandshallbeadministeredsubcutaneously
to the left upper arm of the child.
Any remaining reconstituted vaccine must be discarded after 6 hours or at the
end of the immunization, whichever comes first.
If a mother/ guardian asks the vaccination team to vaccinate her
child aged 8 years old at time of the vaccination team visit, will I give
the MR vaccine?
If the mother insists that her child be given MR vaccine, you may GIVE but do not
record in the Recording Form 1 (VT Daily Vaccination Accomplishment Form).
How can parents and caregivers know the schedule of the
Vaccination Team?
All means of informing the community about the specific schedule of the
door-to-door campaign for the barangays and health centers should be widely
disseminated.
This includes the holding of community assemblies, giving out flyers and the
use of posters.
15. Annex 1: Management of Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI)
What does an adverse event following Immunization (AEFI) mean?
An adverse event following immunization or AEFl is a medical incident
that happens after immunization and causes concern. Although the vaccines
used in national immunization program are extremely safe and effective,
adverse events can occur following vaccine administration. In addition to
reactions to the vaccines themselves, the process of injection preparation and
administration is a potential source of adverse events.
What are the common minor vaccine reactions of
Measles/MMR/MR and treatment?
Vaccine reactions may be classified into “common” and “rare”. The
majorities of vaccine reactions are“common”, mild, settle without treatment, and
have no long-term consequences. More serious reactions are very rare – usually
of a fairly predictable frequency. A childhood vaccine may also precipitate an
event that would probably have occurred anyway (e.g. first febrile seizure).
Most importantly, vaccines are given at a time in an infant or child’s life when
many other events are happening: colds and coughs happen whether or not
vaccines are given, but because a cough follows a vaccination, parents may (not
unreasonably) believe the two events are related.

• Fever (up to 5%)
• Irritability, malaise and non-specific symptoms (up to 5%)
These common reactions occur within a day or two of immunization,
except for fever and systemic symptoms for measles/MMR which occur from
5 to 12 days after immunization. Although fever and/or rash occur in 5-15%
of measles/MMR/MR vaccine recipients during this time, only around 3%
are attributable to vaccine, the rest being accounted for as normal events in
childhood i.e. background events.
16. What are the rare, serious vaccine reaction rates?
Reaction Onset Interval Rates per million doses
Febrile seizures 5 – 12 days 333
Thrombocytopenia
(low platelets)
15 -35 days 33
Anaphylaxis 0 – 1 hour 1-50
What are some of the common minor events associated with
measles-containing vaccine and how are these managed?
The most common reactions are often mild, of short duration, and are
often not due to the vaccine. They are often coincidental and caused by anxiety
over the pain caused by the injection. Below are the common minor events
associated with measles vaccine and pointers on how to manage them.
Common minor event How to manage
Pain and redness at
injection site (most
common)
Fever
Rash: occurs in 5 to 15
percent
Infections (e.g. cellulitis)
Avoid touching or hitting the swollen area; may
give Paracetamol until fever subsides. A cold
cloth applied to the site may ease the pain.
Give Paracetamol
Extra fluids need to he given to feverish
Children.
None
Refer to physicians for further assessment and
management.
17. Dosage of Paracetamol
Note: Give Paracetamol every 6 hours for pain, swelling and fever.
Dosage of Paracetamol
Age Tablet
(500mg/tablet)
Syrup
(120 mg/5 ml)
9 months up to 3 years (4 - 14 kg) ¼ 5 ml (1 tsp)
3 years up to 5 years old (14 -19 kg) ½ 10ml (2 tsp)
5 years up to 8 years old (19 - 24 kg) ½ - 1 15 ml (3 tsp)
Measles vaccine reactions, onset interval and dates
Reactions Onset Interval Reaction per
million doses
Local reaction at injection site 0-2 days (~ 10%)
Fever 6-12 days (5-15%)
Rash 6-12 days (~ 5%)
Febrile seizures 6-12 days 330
Thrombocytopenia (low platelets) 15-35 days 30
Anaphylactoid (severe allergic reactions) 0-2 days ~ 10
Anaphylaxis 0-1 hour ~ 1
Encephalopathy 6-12 days < 1
Reactions (except local reaction, anaphylaxis) do not occur if already immune
(~90% of those receiving a second dose); children over six years are unlikely to
have febrile seizures.
How should health workers respond to injection reactions?
Fainting and hyperventilation, as a result of anxiety, are not related to
the vaccine but to the injection.
Health workers may do the following to reduce the prevalence of
injection reactions, particularly during immunization campaigns:
1. To avoid the likelihood of fainting health workers would do well
to shorten waiting time, ensure comfortable room temperatures,
18. preparation of the vaccine out of the recipients view, privacy during
the immunization procedure, and administration of the vaccine
while the recipient is seated (to avoid any injury in case he
or she falls).
2. Provide clear and adequate explanation about the immunization
and the procedures for those who are waiting to be immunized.
3. Deliver immunization in a calm and confident manner.
4. Ensure that children had their meals prior to immunization.
How does one recognize anaphylaxis?
The most serious but very rare adverse event in the course of
immunization is anaphylaxis. It occurs once in about 3 million vaccinations;
(1:13 million vaccinations during the Ligtas Tigdas campaign in 1998, according
to NEC, DOH). The detection and management of anaphylaxis due to measles
vaccination is the same as anaphylaxis secondary to other causes like food,
drugs, and other antigens.
Anaphylaxis occurs within the first few minutes after injection, so health workers
must be prepared to detect and manage it properly. Early recognition of signs of
anaphylaxis should lead to early treatment to prevent loss of lives.
How to Detect Anaphylaxis
Time Scale Signs and Symptoms of anaphylaxis Severity
Early warning
signs
Dizziness, perineal burning, warmth,
pruritus
Mild
Occurs within a
few minutes
Flushing, urticaria, nasal congestion,
sneezing lacrimation, angioedema
Hoarseness, abdominal cramps,
substernal pressure
Mild to moderate
Moderate to
severe
Late,
life-threatening
symptoms
Laryngeal edema, dyspnea,
abdominal pain
Bronchospasm, stridor, collapse,
hypotension, dysrhythmias
Severe
19. Fainting is more commonly observed in older children. Anaphylaxis should be
distinguished from a faint.
How to Distinguish Anaphylaxis from a Faint
Faint Anaphylaxis
Onset Usually at the time or soon
after the injection
Within the first few
minutes after injection
System
Skin Pale, sweaty, cold and
clammy
Red, raised and itchy
rash; swollen eyes, face;
generalized rash
Respiratory Normal to deep breaths Noisy breathing from
airways obstruction
(wheeze or stridor)
Cardiovascular Bradycardia
Transient hypotension
Tachycardia
Hypotension
Gastrointestinal Nausea/vomiting Abdominal cramps
Neurological Transient loss of
consciousness, good
response once in prone
position
Loss of consciousness,
little response once in
prone position
How should anaphylaxis be managed?
When and where anaphylaxis will occur cannot be predicted. If and
when it does occur, it happens within the first few minutes after immunization.
Thus, the vaccination team should be ready to respond to the incidence of
anaphylaxis.
Initial management entails the following measures:
a. Place the patient in the recumbent position and ensure that the airway
is clear.
b. Assess breathing and pulse. If there’s strong carotid pulse, then it’s not
anaphylaxis.
c. If appropriate, begin with cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
20. d. Give epinephrine by deep intramuscular injection at the deltoid area
according to the following doses:
Age (in years) Dose of Epinephrine (1:100)
Less than 1 year 0.05 ml
1 year 0.1 ml
2 years 0.2 ml
3-4 years 0.3 ml
5-8 years 0.4 ml
e. lf the patient is conscious after the epinephrine is given, place the
head lower than the feet and keep the patient warm.
f. Give oxygen by facemask, if available.
g. Transfer the patient to a nearby hospital for further management, but
never leave the patient alone. If there is no improvement in the
patient’s condition within five minutes, repeat giving a dose of
epinephrine (maximum of three doses). Recovery from an
anaphylactic shock is usually rapid after epinephrine.
Reminders:
• Anaphylaxis occurs within the first few minutes after administration of
the measles vaccine. The vaccination teams should always be quick to
respond to any incidence of anaphylaxis by administering epinephrine
to and promptly referring the patient to a nearby AEFI site (hospital) for
further management
• Aside from the team’s logistics each team shall carry an anaphylactic kit
which contains the following:
• 1 ampule of epinephrine 1:1000 (1 ml per ampule)
• sterile disposable syringes 1 cc with needle gauge 25 X 3/8
• cotton balls
• alcohol
• Forhealthfixedsites,theteamshouldalsobeequippedwithastethoscope
and blood pressure apparatus.
