My question is that, in terms of summer research internships, is prestige of program important for medical school application?

Not really. You can go to the most prestigious program but if you were nothing but a set of hands for someone else it won’t mean anything. Sustained research (e.g. working in a lab at your school for an extended duration) is more impressive too anyway.
