NASA kabuuang 1,562 batang edad 5-11 ang nabakunahan sa isinagawang nationwide ‘Resbakuna Kids’ sa SM City Baliwag, SM City San Jose Del Monte (SJDM) at SM City Marilao sa lalawigan ng Bulacan.

Sinimulan ng SM City Baliwag nitong Lunes ang pilot vaccination activity sa pangunguna at pakikipagtulungan ng health office mula sa local government units (LGU).

“Today is a special milestone, especially for the kids of Bulacan. They have an added layer of protection against the virus, and because of that, malling will be happier and a lot safer for them,” ayon kay SM Regional Manager Lea Sta. Ana.

Sinabi naman ni Nica Baldeo-Cunan, mall media relation officer, upang maging kaaya-aya ang pagbabakuna sa mga bata, ang SM City Baliwag vaccination site ay ginawang country farm-themed venue, mayroong kid-friendly areas para sa screening, registration, vaccination, observation at monitoring gayundin sa iba pang malls.

“We are happy to welcome kids here at the mall and be part of their journey as they take a step towards being protected against the COVID-19 virus. As always, we at SM will give our utmost support by keeping our venues open for vaccination drives like this” wika ni SM City Baliwag Mall Manager Rodora Tolentino.

Umabot sa 500 bata ang nabakunahan sa pilot vaccination activity ng SM City Baliwag, nasa 962 naman ang binakunahan sa SM City SJDM mula Pebrero 21-28, habang nasa 100 bata sa SM City Marilao ang nabakunahan sa pangunguna ng Municipal Health Office.
