As of May 19, 2026, a total of 33,734 senior citizens had been vaccinated through the program dubbed “Taguig Flu-Tektado sina Lola at Lolo: Flu, Malalabanan! Komplikasyong Pneumonia, Maiiwasan!”
The City of Taguig said the initiative remains part of its continuing public health efforts to safeguard vulnerable sectors, particularly senior citizens who are at greater risk of severe illness during flu season.
