BPO workers benefit from Davao City’s office vaccination drive
Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) employees in Davao City have praised the local government’s initiative of bringing COVID-19 booster shots directly to their offices.
In an interview, call center Joe Perjes said that the program has a good effect in controlling and reducing the number of infected persons.
Another BPO worker, Peter Paul Mulit, said that bringing the booster shots to their workplace helps “promote safety and health in the industry.”
“It is advantageous on our part because we will no longer go to the vaccination sites, and we can avoid gatherings,” he added.
Davao City COVID-19 Task Force Spokesperson Dr. Michelle Schlosser said that the BPO firms in the city are expected to provide a master list of their employees’ vaccination status to the task force so that they can conduct mobile vaccination in offices.
This campaign could be proven beneficial as only 18.3% of more than 1.3 million fully vaccinated individuals in Davao have received their booster shots.
