THE Philippine Red Cross said it would help the Department of Health in its 'Chikiting Ligtas' Measles-Rubella and Polio supplementary immunization campaign that is ongoing until May 31.

The campaign aims to avert a possible outbreak of measles and polio in the country following a lower-than-expected turnout in previous vaccination campaigns, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic.
