SM Supermalls, the largest shopping mall chain in the Philippines, has breached the 500,000 mark of individuals inoculated inside 56 of its malls, reaching another milestone in its multi-mall vaccination drive in partnership with various local government units nationwide to be ideal venues for their vaccination programs. To date, SM Supermalls has helped vaccinated 536,555 individuals with 103,684 of them completing their required two doses. Among those vaccinated are 10,512 SM employees and 3,451 tenant and agency partners.
“We’re at a pivotal moment in our country’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout as more Filipinos are getting vaccinated and more than 8 million doses have been administered. In just two days, we were able to inoculate more than 40,000 individuals. We are one with the government in building vaccine confidence, sustaining the momentum for vaccine demands, and ensuring the completion of their doses,” said SM Supermalls President Steven Tan. The shopping mall chain has also started its 'Vax, Shop & Dine' initiative under the Ingat Angat Bakuna Lahat Program where the private sector aims to boost the country's COVID-19 vaccination drive. "Those who got vaccinated may present their COVID-19 vaccination card and a valid ID for them to avail of the exclusive shopping and dining deals from over 1,500 participating stores and restaurants at SM Supermalls from June 15 to September 30, 2021," Tan shares.
SM Supermalls has also launched its Giga Vaccination Center at the SM Mall Of Asia in Pasay City last May as well as the Mega Vaccination Center at SM Megamall in Mandaluyong City a month later which has accommodated more than 2,000 persons a day since then. Meanwhile, other malls will be activated as vaccination centers in their respective areas once vaccines have arrived and become available. “We will continue providing the necessary support to the country’s vaccination drive to help reduce hesitancy and to strengthen willingness amongst Filipinos to get vaccinated against COVID-19. With our collaborative effort, we will be able to realize our goal of achieving herd immunity by year-end and bouncing back stronger and better in this pandemic,” Tan concluded.
