TANDAG CITY, Surigao del Sur -- The city government of Tandag on Tuesday successfullylaunched the pediatric vaccination for children aged 5-11 years old.

Kids waiting to get vaccinated were entertained with mascots and their favorite TV shows. Cotton candy, ice cream, and meals were provided at the food station. A photobooth was also set up in the area, where children were able to take pictures that served as their souvenir from the jab. Kids were then given balloons after receiving their jab.
