In the last few weeks, the country has seen the return of supposedly eradicated illnesses such as polio and diphtheria; and not too long ago we have seen a fresh outbreak of measles despite the funding that has been made available to the Department of Health. Some say this is the impact coming from the Dengvaxia issue and made people wary of vaccination; and that consequentially the being overly cautious of such led to the outbreak and return of what has been completely and totally addressed back then.
