The House of Representatives’ Committee on Health heard the views of government officials and health advocates on the government’s dengue vaccination program during the panel’s second day of hearings into the efficacy and safety of the Department of Health’s (DOH) school-based immunization, after two pupils who received the first dose of the Tetravalent dengue vaccine died last April.

Committee chair Rep. Angelina Tan, MD (4th District, Quezon) requested her colleagues and invited resource persons to let the proceedings take their due course.
