保健省（Department of Health 以下DOH）ダバオは、ポリオ根絶に向けて、全3回のポリオ予防接種プログラムを実施している。12月中旬に行われた第2回目の大規模予防接種では、95.5％の接種率を達成した。第1回目はダバオ市内の生後59か月以内の子ども全員を対象とし、99％の接種率を記録していた。今回は範囲を市内からダバオ地方全体に拡大し、総勢549,662人の子どもにワクチンを投与した。
使用されたワクチンは世界保健機関（WHO）と国連児童基金（ユニセフ）によって資金提供されたものだ。予防接種率を高めるため、ダバオ市内では病院のみならず、学校や検疫所、ショッピングモールなどにも投与所が設置された。また、ダバオ市保険事務所は家庭への直接訪問も行い、ワクチン投与に全力をあげた。
今年9月には、ダバオ川からポリオの陽性反応が報道され、市民に不安が広がった。その後11月の調査でポリオは発見されなくなったと発表されたが、安全には当然疑問が残る。
ダバオニュースの裏側へ！
Thank you for your continued support of Davao’s portal site “Davaotchi”. “Davaotchi” is an information portal about Davao that has been running for about seven and a half years since September 2016 with the aim of conveying the charms of Davao to Japanese people in Japanese and making them more aware of Davao. Thanks to everyone’s support, we have gained a certain amount of recognition, such as being featured in a magazine, and many people have started to hear the term “Dabaotchi”. On the other hand, we have prioritized the mission of conveying the charms of Davao to as many Japanese people as possible, so there is almost no profitability, and we have allocated the profits generated from other businesses to the site management, but we have no plans for the future. As a result of careful consideration of scalability and development, Davaotchi has decided to recruit supporters who can support Davaotchi in order to better manage the site. We considered charging for the site or introducing a subscription plan, but we wanted to deliver information about Davao to as many people as possible, so we decided to simply ask for support from Davaochi fans first. You can support us using PayPal or credit card (debit card) below. We look forward to your cooperation. See more news articles
