  3. Dengue Vaccine Update – 30 November 2017

FIRST official Announcement from PIDSP board regarding Dengue vaccine
after Sanofi release dated
30 November 2017:

 

New vaccines included in the PIDSP Childhood Immunization Schedule calendar are based on evidence current at the time of the review by the Committee on Immunization. These have been presented to the Stakeholders, including the PPS for approval prior to dissemination. However, as information about safety and efficacy of vaccines and guidelines relative to their administration continue to develop after a vaccine is licensed, these recommendations may change. With reference to the press statement entitled “Sanofi updates information on dengue vaccine” released 30 November 2017 (available at http://mediaroom.sanofi.com/sanofi-updates-information-on-dengue-vaccine ) PIDSP will continue to meet with DOH and other national regulatory agencies to provide guidance to clinicians, vaccinators, patients and their parents on the appropriate use of the Sanofi dengue vaccine.

Important Advisory: Beware of Impersonation Attempts via Email

Dear Esteemed Members of the Philippine Pediatric Society,

We would like to bring to your attention an emerging concern regarding online impersonation. It has come to our notice that certain individuals or entities are engaging in deceptive practices by spoofing or falsely representing themselves as members of the PPS Board or staff through fraudulent emails.

To protect our members and the integrity of our organization, we kindly urge you to remain vigilant when receiving unsolicited or suspicious communications—especially those requesting personal information, financial details, or payment instructions.

Please remember:
- The Philippine Pediatric Society will never request payments in foreign currency or sensitive information via email without prior official notice through verified channels.
- Do not click on links or download attachments from unfamiliar or unverified sources.
- If an email appears to come from a PPS representative but seems unusual or out of context, please do not act on it immediately.

If you receive a suspicious email—whether it appears to be from a Board Member, staff, or any PPS-related account—we encourage you to:
- Refrain from responding or clicking on any links. Forward the full email (with headers, if possible) to our official contact email: ppsinc@pps.org.ph
- Notify us as soon as possible so we can take appropriate action.

Your awareness and cooperation are vital in safeguarding our professional community from cyber threats.

Thank you for your continued trust and commitment to the PPS. Stay safe, stay informed, and let’s work together to keep our organization secure.
