The charm
of malls as an accessible venue to all has helped in the quick roll-out of
vaccination by the local governments of San Mateo and Antipolo City to its
residents. This week, SM City San Mateo and SM City Masinag partner with the
local authorities in providing its spacious facilities as vaccination centers.

Priority
groups A1, medical frontliners, and A3, persons with co-morbidities, are among
the recipients of the Sinovac vaccines in the cinema area of SM City San Mateo.
Theaters and its lobby served as vital signs area, registration, vaccination
and recovery stations. Mayor Tina Diaz of San Mateo paid a visit last April 12
to check on the situation and the welfare of her constituents while queuing for
vaccines.

Likewise,
hundreds of pre-registered senior citizens, who belong to the A2 priority
group, take turn in getting their Sinovac vaccines at SM City Masinag’s cinema
lobby. These vaccines are as well provided by the Antipolo City Government. The
mall provided a cool and spacious waiting area, which eases the anxiety of
seniors as they await their turn. Registration, counseling, vaccination and
recovery areas are also put in place. Antipolo City Mayor Andrea Ynares also
made a quick stop at the vaccination area in the mall to check on the
situation.
With
implementation of health protocols, SM Supermalls continues to partner with
respective local government units, where its malls are located, in providing
convenient venues to serve as Covid-19 vaccination facilities.
