First Periodic Test
(To be read by the teacher/proctor)
The Department of Health (DOH) conducts a Combined Mass Drug
Administration in public schools nationwide against soil-transmitted helminthiasis
(STH) and schistosomiasis.
The program aims to deworm children enrolled in public schools in one day
through the National School Deworming Day (NSDD).
The administration of medicines is voluntary and will not be implemented
without the consent filled up by the parent or guardian of the child in public
elementary schools. Just like any other drug, taking deworming drugs may lead to
minimal side effects like dizziness, nausea, headache and vomiting. These effects
are transient, minor, self-limiting and disappear after some time and can easily be
managed with remedies like resting in quiet rooms for a few hours and providing
water mixed with sugar.
DOH appeal to parents and guardians not to believe in wrong information
circulated in social media and in the community. Let us verify our facts by
consulting the nearest health facility regarding deworming.
