“The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) recently advised overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) to have themselves immunized against polio before heading for other countries,” reports Samuel Medenilla in Manila Bulletin.
POEA Administrator Hans Cacdac issued the statement after World Health Organization (WHO) tagged 10 countries with an influx of polio cases.
The affected countries include Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Iraq, Israel, Syria, Ethiopia, Somalia, Cameroon, and Equitorial Guinea.
