A 63-year old grandfather, Demosthenes Oquindo, of Garciaville, Tagum City brought his 9 grandchildren aged 5 to 11 years old to Robinsons Place Tagum for walk-in vaccination. For him, there’s nothing to fear about having children vaccinated because he and other chilren before were also vaccinated.
