According to Yogi, there are many other dangerous diseases that can now be prevented with vaccines, including diphtheria, polio, and tetanus.
“Imagine if the coverage drops, later after this pandemic is over there will be diseases that we only knew from text book, “he said.
On the same occasion, Yogi also reminded parents not to hesitate to bring their children to health services when experiencing emergency symptoms.
Yogi gave an example, one of the symptoms of a disease to watch out for is fever for more than three days in a row. This can be a consideration for parents to immediately bring their children to the hospital.
He said, several diseases such as dengue hemorrhagic fever or diarrhea could be dangerous for children if left untreated.
“Don’t forget that the disease is not just COVID-19. There are many other diseases that can be treated quickly and have good results,” said Yogi. “So do not because we are afraid, it is too late to seek help.”
