00:00As more people are getting vaccinated against rabies,

00:03the Department of Health is trying to reach out to the country's animal bite centers.

00:08Here's EJ Gomez.

00:14Because her neighbor's cat bit her,

00:16Rosalia's 10-month-old daughter was rushed to the hospital to get vaccinated against rabies.

00:22She just cried loudly.

00:24I saw her arms bleeding.

00:28What did you feel earlier?

00:29I was scared, of course.

00:31Princess was also bitten by a rabid cat,

00:33but it took her almost two weeks to get vaccinated.

00:38I didn't go there right away because I have work to do.

00:43Last week, people were giving free anti-rabies vaccines here

00:48at San Lazaro Hospital in Manila.

00:50According to its records, 95% of those who were vaccinated were post-exposure.

00:56Those who were bitten by rabid cats and dogs were taken care of.

01:01Before, we only range from 1,000 to 1,500.

01:06But for the past two weeks, 2,000 is our lowest number.

01:10On Monday, our highest number was 3,500 to 4,000 patients.

01:17To get vaccinated, up to 50 healthcare professionals are on duty every day.

01:22Even though they're not from Manila, they travel here.

01:24That's why there are chances that someone will get vaccinated even though it's past noon.

01:30According to the health secretary who visited the vaccination center earlier,

01:33the health department will assist the people of the Animal Bite Center throughout the country.

01:38Local governments have their own way of vaccinating people.

01:42They should make sure that the vaccination schedule is followed so that the visa won't be lost.

01:47Let's see how we can fix this together with the LGU.

01:51If there are so many people, why is it like that?

01:54City-bounds will also check if there are still living animals.

01:58It's cheaper to catch them than to buy a vaccine for those who are bitten.

02:04Just a reminder to the public, even pets can be bitten, so they should be vaccinated.

02:09Also, because of the hot weather now, our pets are a bit irritable.

02:15For GMA Integrated News, EJ Gomez is your witness.

02:20Kapuso, let's be witnesses together!
