May 28, 2020 was his first day to use a baby stroller. We just bought almost across our residence at SM Hypermarket Shaw Boulevard opposite Jose Rizal University (JRU). Our residence is just at the back of JRU.
On the other hand, his fourth vaccine was dated May 27, 2020 composed of three vaccines. This was held in our barangay health center where his father brought him for administration. Firstly, the Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) for its first dose. OPV is two-pronged. OPV produces antibodies in the blood ('humoral' or serum immunity) to all three types of poliovirus, and in the event of infection, this protects the individual against polio paralysis by preventing the spread of poliovirus to the nervous system. The World Health Organization recommends all children be fully vaccinated against polio. The second one was the Pneumococcal Vaccine (PCV) also for first dose. PCV is consist of two, namely: the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) and the pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) where both protect against pneumococcal infections. The bacteria that cause these infections spread through person-to-person contact. They can lead to serious infections like pneumonia, blood infections, and bacterial meningitis. The third one is Pentavalent – Hib which is another first dose. This immunization is designed to prevent diseases caused by Haemophilus influenza type B (Hib), a bacteria responsible for a range of serious "invasive" diseases including meningitis with potential brain damage and epiglottitis with airway obstruction.
