Malacañang Palace urged overseas Filipino workers to avail themselves of the COVID-19 vaccine in the country where they are working in if this option was available.
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque made the call given that several countries were likely to require the workforce in their jurisdictions to get vaccinated for COVID-19.
“Ini-engganyo po natin ang ating mga OFWs na magpabakuna rin po kung nasaan man sila kasi ang alam ko po ang pagbabakuna naman ay sinasakop ang lahat ‘no,” Roque said.
“We are not safe until everyone is safe ‘no, ‘that is the motto worldwide,” Roque added.
The Philippines has only 3,540,600 doses of COVID-19 supply thus far. Of this number, 1,562,815 individuals already got their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine while 246,986 people already completed their two doses of the COVID-19 jab.
