Protect yourself and your loved ones - get vaccinated!

Carmina went to do her two weeks grocery on March 25, 2025, at Landers Balintawak branch. Upon entering the store near the pharmacy there was a sign posted saying to register for vaccines that will be held on April 12, 2025. Carmina called up Becky asking if she is interested remembered to look out for the flu shot. Becky said yes and asked her to give me full name, birthdate and phone number contact information. Carmina also called up Mom Violy said alright and still faraway to decide.  Carmina felt Mom Violy should get the flu shot since we'll be traveling to California upcoming vacation. Two years ago, when we went to California got sick and that time it was covid season. I just wanted to protect myself even though hardly get sick in the Philippines. Two days before our flu vaccine received a SMS on our mobile phone number to confirm if we are going to get our flu shot. I had responded said yes.

Carmina's Mom Story How She Got Her Vaccine

 


I will share you a story how my mom was able to get her Sinovac vaccine today on Saturday, May 29, 2021.

My mom has been inquiring from her barangay where she lives and each day she will keep following up to make sure they would remember who she is from being motivated to get her way.

My mom later after few months later someone had sent her an application to fill up where she was living.

My mom began thinking which type of vaccine would be best for her since she had medical conditions she had to deal with what other doctors and friends are recommending. My mom was able to solve which one was best for her.

My sister from the United States was very concern for her mother even asking her to fly to see them to have her vaccine there since she is a US Citizen.

My mom didn't feel comfortable flying in a plane for sixteen hours wearing a facial mask and face shield to her she can't picture she doing it. My mom knew she didn't want to fly alone and I had told her I can accompany her there is no problem.

My mom felt if she went to the United States there would be nothing for her to do there and everything is limited access.

My mom had told her daughter if I cannot get my vaccine within the two months I will reconsider your offer but for the meantime let me wait when it is my turn.

Weeks had passed by and for an alternative Carmina had added her to the eZconsult application and as well got her a vaccine somewhere else yet we felt which ever fell through first is what my mom would grab.

Two days ago my mom had received a phone call from her barangay in her area and was informed she is schedule on May 29, 2021 at 11:30 AM. I had advice my mom to be there 15 minutes early away to give time for her to register herself.

From the advices her daughter gave her she was able to do well on her own having a friend pick her up, drop her off and wait till she was done getting her vaccine.

My mom is now happy and she hopes everyone who hasn't gotten their vaccine is to call up their barangay where they live in the Philippines.
