00:00The health department has announced that there is no approved vaccine against mpox here in the Philippines.
00:09In the middle of that, another spa in Metro Manila is being investigated
00:13that has vaccinated therapists.
00:16Maki Pulido is on the case.
00:21On the sides of the pictures of massage therapists
00:24on the social media posts of a spa in Metro Manila,
00:26there is a picture of mpox vaccinated, which was also used as a hashtag in the post.
00:31But the Department of Health said that there is no approved mpox vaccine
00:35by the Food and Drug Administration in the Philippines,
00:37so it will be investigated by the DOH.
00:40We talked to the manager of the spa on the phone,
00:42but he refused to give an explanation.
00:44If it was injected on you and something happened,
00:47who will I chase?
00:49So they need to be restrained.
00:51If there is a complication,
00:53adverse reaction, or someone died from the vaccination,
00:56we will chase them.
00:58The Philippines has already lined up for 2,500 doses of the mpox vaccine.
01:03But the priority of the World Health Organization is the Republic of Congo,
01:07where there is an outbreak of mpox.
01:09In the Philippines, 18 confirmed mpox cases have been confirmed since August 18.
01:14Five of them are already well.
01:16Their close contacts also did not show symptoms,
01:19so there is no epidemiological link.
01:21It means that as long as the patient is isolated, the virus does not spread.
01:26So in truth, the DOH said,
01:28there is no need for a vaccine to control the spread of mpox.
01:32It's very easy to control mpox.
01:34I don't need a vaccine to control it.
01:37With good public health, what we call prevention, detection, isolation,
01:43it can prevent the spread.
01:45Unlike the airborne disease, or like measles, or like COVID-19.
01:51According to the DOH,
01:52clade 2 mpox virus, or the mild form of mpox,
01:55is contagious to all patients in the Philippines.
01:58Clade 1 or the more contagious mpox virus has not yet entered the country,
02:03which is the cause of the outbreak in Congo.
02:05RITM tests 25 to 30 cases every day,
02:08but it is limited to negative cases of mpox.
02:11For GMA Integrated News, Macky Pulido, for Tutok, 24 hours.
