It was coincidental, according to Department of Health spokesperson Dr. Lynden Lee-Suy. "Congenital heart disease is not an exclusion criterion for vaccination," he said.

In the mass immunization program, the dengue vaccine is given only to kids ten years old and older and with parents’ consent. The dengue vaccine is not allowed for kids age nine and younger, adults age 45 and above, or those who are pregnant, undergoing chemotherapy, HIV positive, and those with allergies to the active component of the vaccine.

The academy would start programs for popular sports like basketball, volleyball, and tennis, and will focus on two things: training and development of professional teams. "This is something that we believe can help the country not (only) in terms of sports development, it would be able to help put away drug issues (for the youth)," Sy added.
