The Department of Tourism (DoT) lauds Covid-19 Task Force chief Sec Carlito Galvez for granting the agency’s request to include tourism frontline service personnel in the Priority Group of the country’s vaccination program against the coronavirus disease.

“It is, indeed, critical for our frontliners, especially those who continue to man our ports of entry and those who serve at accommodation establishments that have been repurposed as quarantine facilities. These personnel have been there at the onset of the pandemic - had risked life and limb during the repatriation efforts and up to now, remain at risk with the constant exposure with incoming travelers and guests from all parts of the world,” Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat remarked.
