Watsons Philippines Father's Day Tribute

     Father's Day is just around the corner and its a tradition to celebrate this day with the fambam. He was the first man in your life. He carried you as a baby when mom was too tired and sleep-deprived to do so. He changed your diapers and stayed up at night even when he was tired from work. When you started school, he woke up an hour early to take you on his way to work. He’d also bring you to mall outings with friends and even parties. He made you look good, feel great during challenging times, such as when someone bullied you at school.

     Dad may not be at home most of the time but when he is, he makes sure he spends quality time with you. Now that you’re all grown up and caught up with the realities of life, time spent with your father isn’t as much as it was when you were a child and in school.

Dengvaxia Dengue Vaccine Now Available in Watsons

     Did you know that there is no known cure for dengue fever? I was shocked when I heard this from the event speaker weeks ago during the launch of Dengvaxia Dengue Vaccine availability in select Watsons stores. So what really happens inside the hospital if a patient's laboratory result on dengue test is positive?

     According to Dr. Rontgene Solante, patients who have dengue fever will only receive fever and hydration management in the hospital. After all these years, I thought there's a cure for dengue like antibiotics or a special kind of medicine. I fear mosquito bites because of dengue that's why I always follow preventive measures at home. Since I always believe that prevention is better than cure, I'll look on the brighter side despite having second thoughts of injecting the deadly virus inside my body. More information on dengue fever and Dengvaxia after the jump.
