Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes’ 6-year-old daughter, Zia Dantes, has taken her first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Zia can be seen sitting on Dantes’ lap inside a car as she gives a thumbs up and shows off the pink bandage on her right arm, as seen on Rivera’s Facebook page yesterday, Feb. 9. The photo was also shown on event planner La Belle Fete’s Facebook page last Tuesday, Feb. 8.
“Ate Zia received her 1st dose of COVID-19 vaccine. Good job Ate Z!” Rivera said.
The actress did not state what vaccine brand was given to Zia, while the moment captured by La Belle Fete was geotagged to Pediatrico in Muntinlupa City.
Rivera and Dantes’ second child Ziggy, who is 2 years old, is still too young to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

Other celebrity kids who got their COVID-19 vaccines recently were Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo’s children Lucho and Luna, Bianca Gonzalez‘s daughter Lucia, and Marjorie Barretto‘s youngest child Erich.
The vaccination drive for children aged 5 to 11 started last Monday, Feb. 7. Several health agencies encouraged parents and local governments to ramp up pre-registration of children for COVID-19 vaccines.
The Department of Health also pointed out that the Philippines is following the footsteps of other countries such as the United States and Singapore that started offering COVID-19 vaccination for children under the same age range. /ra
