A Fun and Safe Vaccination for Kids 5 to 11 With #KidsVaxxAtSM!

The day most parents and guardians have long been waiting for is here! Kids 5 to 11 can now get their Covid-19 immunization, and SM Supermalls is pulling out all the stops to make it a pleasant, fun, and safe experience for them! 

In cooperation with the Department of Health (DOH), the Inter-Agency Task Force and National Task Force Against COVID, National Vaccination Operation Center (NVOC), and the local government units, SM Supermalls is among the first vaccination sites to administer COVID-19 vaccines to kids of the said age range.

“We are excited to join the government’s endeavor to vaccinate kids aged 5 to 11 which started on February 7 at the SM North EDSA Skydome. We will also have vaccination sites at 11 select SM malls like The Podium, North EDSA, Mall of Asia Music Hall, SM Aura Taguig, Olongapo, Sucat, Las Piñas, Grand Central, Lemery, Dasmarinas and Mindpro in Zamboanga. Our kids are among the most vulnerable to COVID-19 and we believe it is the right time to give them the necessary protection against it,” SM Supermalls President, Steven Tan said.

In December 2021, only Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine was given an emergency use authorization (EUA) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the 5 to 11 age range. The government targets to vaccinate at least 60% of the total projected population of over 15M kids aged 5 to 11 within one month.

“We want to make vaccination a fun and safe experience for our SuperKids so we partnered with our mall tenants to create that atmosphere for them. We’ve installing kid-friendly waiting areas where they can stay before and after getting vaccinated. We have mascots, balloons, and magic shows to entertain and make them feel comfortable. They can vax, shop, and dine and take advantage of special offers at SM Supermalls,” added SM Supermalls SVP for Operations, Bien Mateo.

Parents and guardians can pre-register their children in respective barangay centers in the City. They would also need to bring valid ID cards or documents with photos of their children in the absence of birth certificate. For guardians, they will need to secure a certificate of guardianship from the respective barangay units. Consent forms, assent forms, and health declaration forms will also be made available on site.

For children with health risks, the guardian/parents are encouraged to secure clearance from their kids’ doctors first before getting them vaccinated.

“We want to encourage parents and guardians to get COVID-19 immunization for their kids here at SM. This is our best option to ensure their safety and protection once they go outside the safe confines of our homes, either to go to school or to go back to the activities we enjoyed as families like malling,” Steven Tan closed.

To date, SM has successfully administered 8.5M jabs, on record as the most number of Filipinos vaccinated by a single company in the private sector, under its multi-mall vaccination program. With its long-standing commitment to ensuring the health and safety of the public, SM continues to provide not just a #SafeMalling experience to shoppers, but also a convenient, accessible, and FUN venue where their communities can get vaccinated.

Now who’s excited for the kids to get vaccinated? We know we are!
