                    [Summary] => More than 250,000 Filipino children are at risk from serious diseases like polio and tuberculosis after a state immunization program faltered last year, a government survey shows. 


Full immunization coverage for some two million infants aged 12-23 months dropped to 61.3 percent last year compared to 65.2 percent in 2000, Carmelita Ericta, administrator of the National Statistics Office (NSO), said.

Coverage in rural areas fell by six percentage points to 56.5 percent, while in urban areas full immunization rates dropped by 1.1 percentage points to 68 percent.

Health Secretary Manuel Dayrit has urged personnel of the Department of Health (DOH) to speed up the administering of oral polio vaccines (OPV) in their areas during the second leg of the "Balik Patak Kontra Polio" that started over the weekend.

It will end on Friday.

Dayrit said he issued the call to avoid problems encountered in the Feb. 2-8 first leg of the campaign during which DOH regional offices failed to meet their timetable because they were slow in their "door-to-door" campaign.
