Concepcion: Give private firms ‘flexibility’ on jabs

Presidential Adviser for Entrepreneurship Jose Maria “Joey” Concepcion 3rd said on Wednesday that private companies should be given flexibility in vaccinating their workers against Covid-19.

“What we want to appeal to the DoH (Department of Health) and Nitag (National Immunization Technical Advisory Group) is to give the private sector the flexibility because if you look at the industries I’ve presented that purchased vaccines, there are so many industries [which] have different positions. And we will list them all, but [we call for] flexibility in who comes first,” Concepcion said during the joint meeting of the House of Representatives’ trade and industry and health committees.
