In support of children’s health and protection, the Department of Health calls for all civil servant's active participation to the Measles–Rubella Supplemental Immunization Activity, which will be conducted as follows:

📍 Phase 1: 19 January to 13 February – Mindanao and BARMM
📍 Phase 2: June – Luzon and Visayas

In line with this initiative, the Civil Service Commission reiterates that government workers may avail of Special Leave Privileges to accompany their children for measles–rubella vaccination at the nearest health center. Parents may also inquire with the barangay nurse or midwife for vaccination schedules and assistance.

This is pursuant to Memorandum Circular No. 6, s. 1996, as amended by MC No. 6, s. 1999, which allows the filing of leave for parental obligations, including medical needs.

Government agencies are encouraged to support this campaign by facilitating the availment of Special Leave Privileges. Together, let us protect our children and help keep our communities safe and healthy.
