Judy Ann Santos, Ryan Agoncillo’s kids take first dose of COVID-19 vaccine

Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo’s children Lucho and Luna have received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

The actress documented her children’s experience at a drive-through vaccination site on her Instagram page yesterday, Feb. 7. Lucho, 11, and Luna, 6, both received Pfizer vaccines. Santos did not state where they received the jabs.

“Finally! Our little ones got their first dose of Pfizer vaccine today! The waiting time is very forgivable bilang (since it’s a) [drive-through] vaccine, the kids are not exposed to a lot of people,” she said.

Santos noted that there were free balloons, mascots and entertainers dressed as “Frozen” characters Anna and Elsa to cheer on children who got their jabs.

“Hats off to all the frontliners for doing this,” she said, adding that she also received her booster shot while at the vaccination site.

Santos stressed that she and Agoncillo respect the decision of other parents who may not want to have their children vaccinated, as per her Instagram Story, also yesterday.

“We respect every parent’s opinion. We all want what’s best for our children, lalo na sa pinagdadaanan nating lahat ngayon. We did our research and we trust our family doctor,” she told fans.

Santos explained that she and Agoncillo consider the vaccination as the first step to give their kids “a little bit of normalcy.”

“…Just to be sure na may panlaban ang mga anak namin sa [COVID-19], all in kami,” she said.

The couple was praised by the actress’ fans, as well as TV host Bianca Gonzalez and Agoncillo’s “Eat Bulaga” co-hosts Pauleen Luna and Allan K.

The government started its vaccination drive for children aged 5 to 11 yesterday, recording a total of 7,416 children who received their first doses.  /ra
