Volunteers at PPVs for teenagers should receive equal benefits as those volunteering in public PPVs


DURING a recent visit to a vaccination centre for teenagers, the person-in-charge told us that the volunteers there were neither paid allowances nor had meals provided. The Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force (CITF) should explain why this is happening.

Compared with the volunteers at public vaccination centres who were provided with daily allowances and meals, the vaccination centres for teenagers operated by the District Education Office had provided neither allowances nor meals for their volunteers.
