The Philippines is facing a whooping cough outbreak, with a plan to administer millions of vaccines after dozens of deaths, affecting mainly children below five years old.
UNICEF highlights that one million Filipino children missed routine vaccinations in 2021, contributing to the high number of unvaccinated children.
Whooping cough, known for its distinctive sound, can be fatal but treatable if detected early and preventable through vaccination, according to experts.
UNICEF warned that the Philippines is among countries with a high number of unvaccinated children, a factor contributing to the spread of preventable diseases like whooping cough.
