Twenty-nine companies have registered their employees for access to coronavirus vaccines under a program offered by the Quezon City government.
“The local government unit (LGU) will facilitate and expedite the inoculation of qualified IT-BPM employees who report to offices located in Quezon City,” the Information Technology and Business Process Association of the Philippines (IBPAP) said in a statement Monday.
Healthcare workers from the participating firms could also volunteer to help inoculate colleagues.
