SM Supermalls partners with GSP to boost DOH’s ‘Resbakuna Kids’ campaign

SM Supermalls teams up with the Girl Scouts of the Philippines (GSP) to boost the Department of Health’s ‘Resbakuna Kids’ nationwide vaccination campaign.

SM Supermalls’ ongoing vaccination efforts will now also welcome over 700,000 members of the GSP to get inoculated against COVID-19 starting April 2.

“We remain devoted to supporting the ‘Resbakuna Kids’ campaign of the Department of Health, and I think what’s more important is being able to administer the vaccinations particularly to the Girl Scouts of the Philippines who have not been vaccinated yet,” said Joaquin San Agustin, Senior Vice President of Marketing at SM Supermalls.

San Agustin also urged those who are still hesitant to get jabbed to safeguard the public’s health and safety.

“We encourage everyone to get vaccinated and for those who were vaccinated to get their boosters. It is not only for the safety of the person [but it is also] for the safety of their families and we, at SM Supermalls, will always welcome everyone for vaccinations here in our malls nationwide,” San Augstin said.

GSP National President Nina Lim-Yuson also echoed the need for children to get vaccinated so they can fulfill their duty of serving their communities.

“We know the Girl Scouts [of the Philippines] made their promise to serve God and our country and to help people at all times. You cannot help others if you are sick. We want everybody to be healthy and well, and that is why we hope they will all get vaccinated at SM Supermalls,” Yuson said.

This initiative led by SM Supermalls is encouraging members of the GSP who have not been vaccinated yet, especially children aged 5 to 11, 12 to 17 and senior citizens to get jabbed at their nearest SM mall vaccination site.

Prior to the vaccination day, GSP members must register in their respective local councils. Parents and guardians must also secure copies of any of the following documents: birth certificate, health records, school registration or ID, or baptismal certificate.

The collaboration between SM Supermalls and the GSP aims to speed up the vaccination rollout in the Philippines in order to achieve herd immunity in the country as soon as possible.

As the single biggest entity to vaccinate Filipinos in the country, SM Supermalls has already administered over 9.4 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines nationwide in its 78 mall vaccination sites. The mall chain remains dedicated in its commitment to ensuring a safe malling experience for the public through its staunch support of the government’s nationwide vaccination campaign.

Be Girl Scout-ready, be COVID-19 vaccinated at SM Supermalls!

 Calling all Girl Scouts! It’s time to fulfill our duty to the nation and get vaccinated against COVID-19!

In partnership with the Girl Scouts of the Philippines (GSP), SM Supermalls is targeting to vaccinate over 700,000 GSP members through a nationwide GSP vaccination day starting April 2 in 78 mall vaccination sites.

“This is our commitment to the future women leaders of our nation– to give them a chance to have a safer, better normal. And one of the ways we can do that is through providing them with an accessible and convenient COVID-19 vaccination experience. We encourage all Girl Scout members, parents, and volunteers participating in various GSP activities to join us on April 2 and get vaccinated against COVID-19,” said SM Supermalls President, Steven Tan.

GSP members aged 5 to 17, as well as their family and friends who also need to be vaccinated and boosted, are encouraged to get jabbed at the nearest SM mall. Prior to the vaccination day, GSP members must register in their respective local councils. Parents and guardians must also secure copies of any of the following documents: birth certificate, health records, school registration or ID, or baptismal certificate.

And on their vaccination schedule, GSP members must be in their official Girl Scouts uniforms or bring their official ID. They are also advised to have a  meal prior to or bring something to snack on while waiting. Younger girl scouts should be accompanied by their parents and to fill out the necessary forms on-site.

“We are honored and grateful for the support that we’re getting from SM Supermalls. We have kept Girl Scouts, its members, and our communities safe– our top and most important priority. And getting them vaccinated is a crucial step for us to be able to fulfill our duty of helping our nation quickly get back on its feet,” said Nina Lim-Yuson, GSP President.

This endeavor with the GSP is SM Supermalls’ most recent partnership with a non-governmental organization to speed up the vaccination rollout in the country. Under this collaboration, SM Supermalls’ pediatric vaccination sites will be opened to accommodate the GSP members, their family members, as well as friends. To date, SM Supermalls has already administered almost 10 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccines in over 71 malls around the country.
