Due to the COVID-19 in the country, the group weren’t able to have our 5th community exposure. For it, the school decided to move it into online platform. The community were able to implement activities while observing the covid-19 protocols. It was attained by way of us (the group) guiding our barangay health workers (BHW) in the community to implement some of our planned actives.
Firstly, the department of agriculture together with Barangay Health Station were able to vaccinate 65 dogs and cats in the barangay for this year. During the said activity, the Barangay Health Station were able to have a list of participants for this years vaccination and pet owners were given pet cards which served as a personal record for their pets. These pet cards were also distributed in the different houses in the different sectors of the barangay.
Secondly, the group also focused on awareness campaigns about responsible pet ownership and rabies. Our BHW posted tarpaulins in the Barangay Hall, barangay health station, and in the the community elementary school. The BHW distributed pamphlets with topics about rabies and the relation of house pets and covid 19 (together with petcards) in the different sectors in the community. BHWs also conducted health education to the heads of household in the different sectors.
Lastly, the group (medical students) created an infomercial that was posted in our facebook page to further extend the campaign to the social media platform.
The implementation of activities were limited because of the pandemic but it would not be possible without the help and participation of the government officials, barangay key persons and officials, barangay health station staff, and the entire community.
