Two government officials on Friday, Oct. 22, weighed in on certain issues surrounding the planned mandatory vaccination of employees in some sectors.

Presidential Adviser for Entrepreneurship Joey Concepcion addresses the media during the arrival of 698,600 doses of AstraZeneca vaccine at NAIA Terminal 3 on Oct. 22, 2021.

“At this point in time, the employers are not implementing anything like that na no jab, no pay. That’s not being done especially those [business groups] that bought [COVID-19 vaccines],” Concepcion told reporters during the arrival of 698,600 doses of AstraZeneca vaccine that were procured by the private sector under the “Dose of Hope” program.

“We’re suggesting to mandate those under the labor intensive businesses like semi-conductor, BPO [business process outsourcing], call centers, POGO [Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator], and business establishments that are of high risk,” he said. Vaccine czar Carlito Galvez Jr. addresses the media during the arrival of 698,600 doses of AstraZeneca vaccine at NAIA Terminal 3 on Oct. 22, 2021.

Galvez said an individual has the right to refuse getting the vaccine but companies also have the right “to preserve its institution from being contaminated with the virus.”

If I were an employer, I would rather make the vaccination mandatory than take the huge risk of spreading the virus to coworkers w/c may result to loss of lives, loss of income, loss of revenue to the company, then eventually loss of jobs due to closure or downsizing.
