AT LEAST 200 kids got their Covid-19 vaccine shots during the opening of the Kids Vaccination Hub at SM City Tarlac on February 28.
The doctors, nurses, and staff of the Provincial Government of Tarlac were all dressed in different and colorful characters to give a pleasant vaccination experience. The vaccination area is specifically designed and set up for kids to look like a children's party to add fun to the overall experience.
First, the children will be checked by a healthcare worker prior to the administration of the vaccine. Once checked, the kids will enter a playful-looking vaccination booth and will be given a colorful band aid sticker. After that, they have the option to play at the amusement arcade corner for free. All vaccinated kids can get a cotton candy, popcorn, and goodies from SM Foodcourt.
Meanwhile, vaccination for kids aged five to 11 started to roll out in February 11 at the Tarlac Provincial Hospital.
The management of SM City Tarlac continues to work hand in hand with the government's “Resbakuna” program as it continues to provide vaccination sites that follow safety protocols.
