MANILA (Bloomberg): The Philippines will start vaccinating frontline workers in key industries, presidential spokesman Harry Roque said, as the nation expects the delivery of more jabs against coronavirus in the coming weeks.
The coronavirus task force approved the vaccine deployment plan for priority group A4, which includes frontline workers in supermarkets, food and medicine manufacturers, banks, utilities and tourism, Roque said in a statement on Friday (April 16).
Also under this group are religious leaders, overseas Filipino workers, teachers, government workers, tax collectors, diplomats and media personnel, he said.
