Since the outbreak of Polio in the Philippines, there were a lot of measures that the concern government agencies are doing to prevent and cure or to inform the public about it.

Oman is one of the countries in the list and Philippine Embassy in Muscat issued an advisory dated December 12, 2019

Now, we have witnessed in social media that the Filipino community in Oman is confused… Take a look some of the comments:

But before that, this is a tweet from the OWWA administrator Hans Cacdac:

The advisory about the polio vaccine is very clear, it even provides whom to contact if you need more information. Aside from that, you have in your hand the most powerful tool to help you clear your doubts, you can reach the concern government agencies to ask clarifications.
