SUBJECT:

Attendance to the Second Quarter Vaccine Preventable Disease (VPD) Case Evaluation and Workshop on May 21-24, 2013 in Quezon

Philippines had been certified polio-free since October 29, 2000. However, the country is always at risk of wild poliovirus importation from countries with on-going wild poliovirus transmission. Measles and Neonatal Tetanus are also targeted for elimination. To sustain quality surveillance after the certification, the National Epidemiology Center will conduct its quarterly Case Evaluation and Workshop. The objective of this activity is to determine final classification of reported Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) cases in our goal of sustaining the polio-free status and attain global eradication. This also provides venue to assess the gaps in the VPD surveillance system, thus, come up with solutions to enhance said system.

The following VPD Surveillance Officers are hereby authorized to attend the Second Quarter Vaccine Preventable Disease (VPD) Case Evaluation and Workshop on March 21-24, 2013 in Quezon:
