FIC (Fully Immunized Child): A child who has received all basic vaccines recommended by the DOH by 12 months of age, including BCG, Pentavalent (DPT-HepB-Hib), Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV), and Measles-Containing Vaccine (MCV).

Why it's important:

Disease Prevention: FIC status protects children from highly contagious and potentially deadly vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) like measles, polio, and diphtheria.
National Target: The DOH aims for a 95% FIC coverage nationally, but many regions, like Bicol, have faced challenges meeting this goal.

Current Efforts:

PIRI (Periodic Intensification of Routine Immunization): DOH initiatives like this mobilize health workers for door-to-door visits and community outreach.
School-Based Immunization (SBI): Programs to catch up on missed vaccinations for school-aged children.
Collaborations: Partnerships with LGUs (Local Government Units), private clinics, and community groups to improve data and access.

In essence, "FIC DOH" highlights the ongoing effort to achieve full childhood immunization across the Philippines to safeguard public health.

The "DOH hypertension and diabetes club" refers to community-based health clubs promoted by the Department of Health (DOH) for managing non-communicable diseases like hypertension and diabetes.

These clubs, established in communities and workplaces, aim to improve the health of members through activities like education, risk screening, social support, and access to free or subsidized maintenance medicines.

What they are:

Community-focused health groups: Clubs are formed at the local level, such as in barangays or government offices, to focus on the most vulnerable populations at risk for hypertension and diabetes.

Disease-specific management: Their primary goal is to help members better manage and control hypertension and diabetes through a variety of programs and activities.

Key activities

Health services: They provide regular and accessible health services, including blood pressure and sugar level testing.
Health education: Clubs conduct lectures and interactive sessions on disease management, prevention, and healthy lifestyles.

Lifestyle promotion: Activities like Zumba, walking, and hiking are organized to encourage physical activity.

Medicine access: They facilitate the distribution of free or subsidized maintenance medications for hypertension and diabetes.

Social support: They offer a platform for members to socialize and support each other in managing their conditions.

How to get involved

Check local health centers: Inquire at your local rural health unit or barangay health station about whether a club exists in your area and how you can join.

Ask at work: If you are a government employee, check with your office's health services about their DOH-supported club activities.

Participate in DOH programs: Look for announcements from the DOH regarding health programs and initiatives in your community. - META AI

‼️ THIRD-HAND SMOKE: Ang “natitirang lason” na hindi mo nakikita

⚠️ Hindi lang secondhand smoke ang delikado.
May mas tahimik at mas nagtatagal na panganib: third-hand smoke. Based on research, pwede magtagal ang third-hand smoke for months to years!

⚠️ Ito ang mga chemicals na NAIIWAN kahit matagal nang tapos ang paninigarilyo. Kumakapit ito sa:
• Damit
• Buhok at balat
• Sofa at upuan
• Bed sheets at unan
• Carpet at sahig
• Pader
• Salamin at kurtina
• Laruan ng bata
• Car seats at loob ng sasakyan (PINAKAMALALA na lugar ‼️)

⚠️ Kaya kahit wala nang nakikitang usok, nandiyan pa rin ang toxins.

⚠️ Ano ang laman ng third-hand smoke?
• Ni****ne residues
• Tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs) → carcinogens
• Heavy metals (lead, arsenic, chromium)
• Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
• Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

‼️ Bakit mas delikado sa 👶🏻 BATA ang third-hand smoke? Nas mataas ang risk na ma-absorb nila ang toxic residues dahil sila ay...
• Gumagapang sa sahig
• Humahawak sa kung saan-saan
• Nagsusubo ng mga daliri at laruan
• Mas mabilis huminga
• Immature pa ang immune system

⚠️ Risks for children:
✔ Mas madalas na asthma attacks
✔ Mas matinding allergies
✔ Mas madalas na respiratory infections
✔ Long-term cough
✔ Learning/attention problems
✔ Possible long-term cancer risk (TSNAs)

🛡️ Let us be responsible and protect the most vulnerable.
