THE 2026 PHILIPPINE NATIONAL IMMUNIZATION PROGRAM (NIP)

1. THE NEWBORN BUNDLE

BCG: 0.05 mL (Intradermal) at birth. Provides protection against miliary TB and TB meningitis.

Hepatitis B: Birth dose within 24 hours.

Note: If the mother is HBsAg positive, give the Hep B vaccine AND HBIG within 12 hours of life.

2. THE INFANT SERIES (6, 10, 14 WEEKS)

  • Pentavalent Vaccine: DPT-HepB-HiB (3 doses, IM).
  • Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV): 3 doses (2 drops, PO).
  • Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV): 2 doses. The NIP now emphasizes the shift toward IPV to prevent Vaccine-Derived Poliovirus (VDPV). Usually given at 14 weeks and 9 months.
  • Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV): 3 doses (6, 10, 14 weeks).

3. THE MEASLES PROTECTION

  • 9 Months: MR (Measles-Rubella).
  • 1 Year (12-15 Months): MMR (Measles-Mumps-Rubella).
  • In the Philippines, due to frequent outbreaks, "Supplemental Immunization Activities" (SIA) often give MR doses as early as 6 months (the "zero dose"), but this does NOT count toward the regular schedule.

4. SPECIAL SCHOOL-BASED IMMUNIZATION

  • Grade 1 & 7: Td (Tetanus-diphtheria) and MR boosters.
  • HPV: Given to female students (9-14 years old) in two doses to prevent cervical cancer.

BOARD TRAP: Which vaccine is contraindicated in a child with a history of intussusception? Rotavirus vaccine. Also, remember that live vaccines (BCG, OPV, MMR, Varicella) are generally contraindicated in severely immunocompromised patients and pregnant women.

THE DENGUE SPECTRUM: PHASES AND WARNING SIGNS

1. THE THREE CLINICAL PHASES

FEBRILE PHASE (Days 1 to 3)

  • Characterized by high grade fever, facial flushing, and biphasic (saddleback) fever patterns.
  • Key Lab: Leukopenia (WBC drop) is often the earliest hematologic sign of infection.
  • Board Trap: Do NOT give Aspirin or NSAIDs like Ibuprofen or Mefenamic Acid. These increase the risk of Reye Syndrome and aggravate bleeding tendencies. Use Paracetamol only.

CRITICAL PHASE (Days 3 to 7)

  • This phase begins at defervescence, which is the period when the fever subsides.
  • This is the window of Plasma Leakage.
  • Key Lab: Look for a sudden rise in Hematocrit (hemoconcentration) and a rapid drop in Platelet count.
  • Integrated Reasoning: Assess for signs of Third Spacing such as pleural effusion or ascites through physical examination or ultrasound.

RECOVERY PHASE (Days 7 to 10)

  • During this phase, fluid is reabsorbed from the extravascular space.
  • Classic Sign: The Herman's Rash, described as isles of white in a sea of red. This is a late onset maculopapular rash that is often pruritic.
  • Board Trap: Monitor for Fluid Overload during this stage if intravenous fluids were not tapered appropriately when the patient transitioned from the critical phase.

2. THE 7 WARNING SIGNS (THE MUST KNOW LIST)

If a patient exhibits any of the following, they are classified as Dengue with Warning Signs and require immediate admission:

  1. Abdominal pain or tenderness.
  2. Persistent vomiting (at least 3 times in 24 hours).
  3. Clinical fluid accumulation (ascites, pleural effusion).
  4. Mucosal bleeding (epistaxis, gum bleeding).
  5. Lethargy or restlessness.
  6. Liver enlargement (greater than 2cm).
  7. Hematocrit increase with rapid platelet decrease.

Mnemonic: Always Practice Careful Medical Learning Like Heroes.

3. FLUID MANAGEMENT PEARLS

  • Choice of Fluid: Use Isotonic Crystalloids such as 0.9% NaCl or Lactated Ringer's solution.
  • Avoid: Hypotonic solutions like D5W or 0.45% NaCl should be avoided as they can worsen edema and contribute to cerebral swelling.
  • Transfusion: Platelet transfusion is not routinely recommended regardless of the count unless there is significant clinical bleeding. Prophylactic transfusion does not prevent hemorrhage and may lead to fluid overload.

THE Physician Licensure Exam… 

There is a specific kind of silence that only a board taker knows. The one where you’re staring at a page of notes and realizing how much of yourself you’ve given to a dream that hasn't promised you anything back yet. 

We chose the name AXIOS for this October 2026 PLE Blueprint Batch because we want to change the way you look at that reflection in the mirror. 

We spend so much of our lives waiting for someone else to validate us. A teacher, a proctor, a resident, a consultant, a PRC rating. But being "WORTHY" isn't a destination you reach after the 4 days of PLE. It is the courage you show every morning you wake up and decide to try again, even when your spirit feels bruised.

At PLE Blueprint, we’ve built more than just a test bank. We’ve built a sanctuary for the moments when the high-yield notes aren't enough to stop the shaking in your hands. We know that behind every "MD" is a person who almost quit more than a dozen times, and we are here to hold the light for you until you can see what we already see. 

You aren't just a student chasing a number. 

You are a healer in waiting, a person whose hands are being prepared to hold the weight of someone else’s life. 

Don’t walk this road as if you’re trying to earn your place in the world. 

Walk it knowing that your place is already held, that your struggle is seen, and that you are already everything the world needs. 

Come home to a community that knows your worth isn't up for debate. 

Join us, and let’s walk into that October sun together. Not as people hoping to pass, but as doctors finally coming home to themselves. 

You are Axios. You are enough. You always were.
