The Public Attorney\u2019s Office (PAO) blamed anew the Dengvaxia vaccine as the cause of death of the 71st child, in a record released by its chief Atty. Persida Acosta on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n
Acosta told Radyo Inquirer that the latest death was recorded in Metro Manila on July 19, just a few days after the 70th victim died this week.<\/p>\n\n
\u201cCommon patterns of signs and symptoms pa rin po ito: sakit ng ulo, sakit ng katawan, nahihirapang huminga,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n
(It\u2019s still the common patterns of signs and symptoms: headache, body ache, and difficulty in breathing.)<\/p>\n\n
Acosta lamented the death of another child in Laguna who was given the vaccine, whom she said was the \u201conly child\u201d of his parents.<\/p>\n\n
\u201cItong mga ito kahit anong gawin po ng mga doktor, lalo na kung talong talo ng immunity system nila, ay tuloy-tuloy na po sa pagcomatose hanggang sa mamatay,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n
(No matter what the doctors do to these children, especially when their immunity system is weak, their condition continues to fall into comatose until their death.)<\/p>\n\n
She also said parents of victims have reported to have been given P50,000 financial aid by the Department of Health (DOH), but with a waiver that says the deaths of their children are not related to the vaccine.<\/p>\n\n
She called on the DOH to declare a health emergency on the issue, saying that further deaths need to be prevented.<\/p>\n\n
\u201cKinakalampag natin ang dapat kalampagin na sagipin po ang mga batang buhay,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n
(We knock on the door of those who are concerned to save the children who are still living.) \/jpv<\/p>\n\n
