The house-to-house vaccination commenced on March 19, aiming to reach all children until March 29.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">"We have to contain the virus within 10 days. In those 10 days, we need to reach all those target children. We call it non-selective vaccination or outbreak-response immunization.

"First and foremost, at the municipal level, we should convene the local health board to discuss this outbreak and how we eradicate it," he stated.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">He further highlighted the significance of activating Emergency Operations Centers as a platform for coordinated planning and management of the outbreak.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Sambitory underscored that even a single case of measles within a community constitutes an outbreak. While the PDRRMO primarily addresses natural and human-induced hazards or disasters, health emergencies such as outbreaks or epidemics fall within the purview of the PDRRMO's mandate.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">According to the latest report from IPHO, the cumulative measles cases in the province from 2023 up to March 19 have reached 1,181, with Marawi City accounting for 551 cases. A total of 13 of these cases have resulted in deaths. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">According to the Ministry of Health's report, Lanao del Sur registered 220 cases between January 1 and March 20, followed by Maguindanao del Norte with 163 cases and Marawi City with 80 cases.
