PHINMA STARTS VAX PROGRAM FOR EMPLOYEES

The PHINMA Group has started a vaccination program for its employees as part of its support for the country's (COVID-19) immunization program to achieve herd immunity by year-end.

It launched Monday its PHINMAVax, its own vaccination program, giving free Covid-19 jabs to its employees across all of its business units in construction materials, education, hospitality, and property development.

“Vaccinating our employees is part of our shared responsibility in keeping everyone safe from COVID-19. We have secured 26,000 doses for PHINMA Group employees, which we have extended to their dependents, and even to our partners and service providers all over the country,” PHINMA president and chief executive officer Ramon del Rosario said in a statement.

Del Rosario said the firm has also allotted vaccines for vulnerable sectors in need of additional jabs. PHINMA secured 20,000 doses of Moderna vaccines and 6,000 doses of AstraZeneca vaccines.

“The success of our national vaccination program relies heavily on the cooperation of every Filipino—with at least 70 million of our population getting vaccinated as soon as possible. Through PHINMAVax, we offer a safe and reliable inoculation option as we leverage robust systems developed by our partners in the private and public sector to ensure additional protection for our people all over the country,” del Rosario added.

PHINMA is also partnering with local government units of Manila, Makati City, Mandaluyong City, Pasay City, Quezon City, Cabanatuan City, Dagupan City, Cebu City, Iloilo City, Cagayan de Oro City, and the regional office of the Department of Health in Region 7 for the vaccine rollout of PHINMA employees who are part of the A4 priority group.
