SENATOR Joel Villanueva again called on parents to let their children be vaccinated against Covid19.

Villanueva stressed that the vaccination of children 5 years old and above is an important step for the resumption of face-to-face classes.

“We need to vaccinate our children against Covid19 so that they can finally go back to seeing their classmates and teachers in person, and do social activities like sports,” he said.

The senator took a break from his reelection campaign schedule to accompany his children for their first Covid19 jab.

Villanueva took his daughter Gwyn, 9, and son Jaden, 11, to the FilOil Flying V Arena in San Juan City where they were vaccinated.

“These are experiences that we parents should not take away from our children. This is why I took a break from my busy campaign schedule so that I can personally see to it that I’m giving the best for my children,” he added.
