Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) are now among the top priority for vaccinations in the Philippines, the government announced on Friday.
In a new resolution issued by the Philippine government’s Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID), OFWs who are set to be deployed abroad within four months from their target vaccination date will now be able to get the free jabs ahead of other sectors of the community.
