Imus is hosting the "Ligtas Tigdas" Measles-Rubella Supplemental Immunization Activity at The District Imus from August 21 to 23, 2026, offering free and safe vaccines for children aged 6 months to under 5 years old as part of a nationwide campaign to protect young children from highly contagious diseases.
A Safe and Effective Vaccine Backed by Decades of Use
Imus parents can confidently bring their children to the vaccination drive knowing that the measles-rubella vaccine has been used globally for over 50 years and is recognized by health authorities as both safe and effective . The Department of Health emphasizes that while mild side effects like fever or slight swelling at the injection site may occur, these are temporary signs that the body is building immunity, and the risk posed by the diseases themselves is far greater.
Important Details for Parents and Guardians
Imus residents should note that vaccinations at The District Imus are available from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM until August 23, with barangay health centers continuing the rollout until August 28 . All children aged 6 months to 59 months are eligible regardless of their previous vaccination status, except in cases where a doctor advises otherwise . Parents are encouraged to visit their nearest health center or barangay hall to check the specific schedule for their area, with health workers prepared to assess each child on site and proceed with vaccination even for those with mild coughs or colds.
