Yesterday, the BHW (Barangay Health Worker) come to the Day Care classroom and announced that today there will be an immunization for MMR Booster. The MMR vaccine is an immunization vaccine against measles, mumps, and rubella (German measles). It is a mixture of live attenuated viruses of the three diseases, administered via injection. That is for free in the Health Center.
But sad to say other mother's are afraid for their child to get the MMR vaccine because of the Dengvaxia vaccine issue. Some mother agreed to have the MMR immunizations, like me. Because, for me it is proven and tested that it is safe for our children.
My son is all smile, not minding the pain. But my daughter is still sad, lol.
My kids got the immunization today. I already told them earlier that we have to get the immunization for today. I told them that do not be afraid because it is just like a "bite of an ant", lol. I told them that they need to be brave. While on the class, my daughter keeps on telling me that she don't want to have the immunization.
My son had the immunization first. Because my daughter's class is not yet finished. I told my son to be brave, I'll just repeat what I told them earlier. I carry my son and just hug him. I told him to stay still and don't look to the needle. But he is a brave little man. He is just look to the midwife while injecting it to his shoulder. Then, while pulling it, he just said "Ant". Meaning the ant bite him, lol. He remembers what I told him.
But my daughter has the opposite reaction. While going to the health center, she started crying. She told me while crying that she don't want to be injected, that it is hurt and she wants to go home. I told her that it is just a bite of an ant, it doesn't hurt but she don't believe me, lol. She keeps on crying. I just carried her, but she keeps on resisting. We just hold her and I covered her eyes for her not to see the needles. Then it's done, but she keeps on crying, lol. My son told his ate "Tete (short for ate), hiling mo Nonoy Yvo dae hibi. Tete, eu. Dae ka na hibi." means "Ate, look, I don't even cry. But you cried a lot. Please stop crying". That makes me smile, my little brave man trying to comfort his ate.
I hope my kids will grow being a brave man and woman. That can face all the challenges here in the world.
This end my #ulog for today. Hope you enjoyed reading my post. Have a great day.
