Participants and organizers agreed that there is a great need for a Philippine system for surveillance of AEFIs. This was exactly what Dr. Alvin Marcelo did when he gave his presentation on "Creating the Philippine System for AEFI Training, Reporting and Surveillance" along with Drs. Go and Tayag to cap the event. Dr. Marcelo talked on the technological aspects of creating the Philippine System, which will start with the Alerting System through SMS ( Short Messaging System ), or text messaging to give reporters easy access to alert authorities about an AEFI.
At the end of the seminar, both participants and organizers agreed that there is still much to learn about Vaccine Safety and the Management of AEFIs. It was decided that education is the key to all these, which will involve vaccine safety training for regional authorities, medical societies, local government officials and even the media as key participants.
The workshop was a very fruitful endeavor indeed, and we can look forward to a Vaccine Safe Philippines, thanks to PFV. previous page
