Mandatory na ang pagbabakuna sa mga empleyadong nagtatrabaho on-site sa mga pampubliko at pribadong sektor simula Disyembre 1, ayon kay Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque.
Ayon kay Roque, ito ay inaprubahan ng Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) sa kanilang pagpupulong nitong Huwebes.
"In areas where there are sufficient supplies of Covid-19 vaccines, Covid-19 vaccination of eligible employees tasked to do on-site work shall be required by all establishments and employers in the public and private sector," pahayag ni Roque.
"However, eligible employees who remain to be unvaccinated may not be terminated but they shall be required to undergo regular RT-PCR (reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction) testing, or antigen tests, at their own expense,” dagdag niya.
Sinabi pa ni Roque na ito ay inaprubahan "to increase demand for Covid-19 vaccination".
"Public transportation services in the road, rail, maritime, and aviation sectors shall likewise require all their eligible workers to be fully vaccinated as a condition to continue their operations," paliwanag ng Spokesperson.
Dagdag pa niya na ang mga public at private establishments "may validly refuse entry and/or deny service to individuals who remain to be unvaccinated, or are merely partially vaccinated, despite being eligible for vaccination."
"Frontline and emergency services, on the other hand, shall continue to render assistance to all persons, regardless of vaccination status," aniya.
