Introduction of the Study

 A dengue virus vaccine was recently developed not only to prevent

first infections, but to avoid severe disease that may occur upon
second and third infections. This consequence, called Antibody
Dependent Enhancement (ADE), now appears to be caused by the
vaccine itself. These are the so called “Dengvaxia Vaccines” that
are already arises in the Philippine’s public health.
Body of the topic

 A. Historical Background
 Dengue vaccine is a vaccine to prevent dengue fever in humans.
The World Health Organization recommends that countries should
consider vaccination with the dengue vaccine CYD-TDV only if the
risk of severe dengue in seronegative individuals can be minimized
either through pre-vaccination screening or recent documentation
of high seroprevalence rates in the area (at least 80% by age 9
years). In 2017 the manufacturer recommended that the vaccine
only be used in people who have previously had a dengue
infection, as outcomes may be worsened in those who have not
been previously infected.This has caused a scandal in the
Philippines where more than 733,000 children and more than 50,000
adult volunteers were vaccinated regardless of serostatus.
 B. Case Examplaes
 As of this writing, there are already 102 recipients whose cadavers
have undergone forensic examination, according to
forensic experts of the Public Attorney’s Office (PAO).

 Conclusion
 Conclusion
 Analytic summary
 All of the patterns of the autopsy of those who died regarding the vaccine can be considered as an evidence for the reckless imprudence
of the former officials who are involved in this controversy who are not efficient to the compliance of implementing the vaccination
immunization program of the Department of Health (DOH). If you gathered all the information you can clearly say that those former leaders
are guilty of this controversy. It is clear as crystal that they rush everything not for the sake of the immunization program but for the sake of
the budget.
 On the past years ago since the Former President Benigno Aquino III, We just had a problem regarding the Dengue cases. Because of this
rising cases of Dengue this issue has been used by the administration. Robbing the peoples money in where the lives didn’t matter to them.
On this country Philippines that is full of corrupt leaders were still believeing that goodness and justice will win and will be on top of anyone.
 It is easy to say that the DOH should not have started the vaccination program so precipitately because of safety concerns that had not yet
been resolved to everybody’s satisfaction. This contention seems to be supported by subsequent findings validating the slight increase in the
absolute risk of severe dengue illness in those who have never had dengue and received the vaccine. However this data was actually
available and had been taken into consideration when the WHO made recommendations on the use of the vaccine. The WHO noted the
increased risk of severe dengue, conducted a risk benefit analysis, and arrived at the recommendation that the vaccine can be used in
populations where the burden of dengue was high.
 As dengue is a complex disease, the virus interacts in different ways with the human immune system, and different serotypes can co-
circulate or change in prominence from year to year in dengue-endemic countries. The combined data from Asia and Latin America studies
in the 9-16 year old age group showed that approximately two out of three vaccines were protected against dengue of any severity
caused by any of the four serotypes. Furthermore, efficacy was significant for each serotype with higher protection against serotypes 3 and 4
seen compared with serotypes 1 and 2. Importantly, vaccine efficacy against all four serotypes also contributes to the ability of the vaccine
to prevent eight out of ten dengue hospitalizations and nine out of ten severe dengue cases in the first 25 months following the first dose.
Some efficacy was observed in clinical study participants below nine years of age. However, until more data is gathered as part of long-
term evaluations, the overall benefit of vaccinating children under nine against dengue remains to be determined. As the nine and above
age group represents the majority of dengue cases worldwide as identified by national surveillance systems in several dengue-endemic
countries, and up to 90 percent of dengue cases in some endemic areas, a vaccine indicated for a targeted population of nine years and
older has the potential to significantly impact dengue disease in high-burden countries.
Recommendation

 Specific recommendation
 We recommend an urgent massive and extential investigation for those officials who is incharged
of this program
 We recommend that for those who is incharge of this vaccine who claim that there is nothing
wrong with the procedure is to also vaccine them with the dengvaxia vaccine.
 We recommend that penalties must be imposed on right value.
 Last and the most important is to gather justice of the victims of this happening is to let them rot in
prison. Dying is easy for them to feel the sensation,beign rot in prison is the best justice and death
penalty at the age of 70.


 When it comes to the persons incharge of this matter, we do also recommend an urgent massive
and extensial investigation throughout the officials incharge. We and I myself that would
recommend also to vaccine who is incharge of this vaccine to prove that there is nothing wrong
of what they implemented so that people will also believe that they are still alive and the
Dengvaxia vaccine has nothing to do with the deaths of the children. One thing that the
government least can do is to impose right penalty to them and let them rot in prison. But one
thing that for those who had lose their children and family members because of this vaccine is to
see also die from this vaccine those who intend to compensate and corrupt the funds of this
program if that happen we did all get the justice that we all have been waiting for.
