First Periodic Test

(To be read by the teacher/proctor)

The Department of Health (DOH) conducts a Combined Mass Drug Administration in

public schools nationwide against soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH) and schistosomiasis.

The program aims to deworm children enrolled in public schools in one day through the
National School Deworming Day (NSDD).

The administration of medicines is voluntary and will not be implemented without the
consent filled up by the parent or guardian of the child in public elementary schools. Just like any
other drug, taking deworming drugs may lead to minimal side effects like dizziness, nausea,
headache and vomiting. These effects are transient, minor, self-limiting and disappear after some
time and can easily be managed with remedies like resting in quiet rooms for a few hours and
providing water mixed with sugar.

DOH appeal to parents and guardians not to believe in wrong information circulated in
social media and in the community. Let us verify our facts by consulting the nearest health
facility regarding deworming.
