In an exclusive interview with Avin, he shared that their target vaccination is in the 3rd quarter of 2021 since a deal with Moderna has been signed already. He also revealed that they are just waiting for the shipment as it requires special handling and storage. The procurement of the vaccines for most private companies are through Ricky Razon and ICTSI or International Container Terminal Services who consolidates smaller orders of the Moderna vaccine.

Apart from giving free vaccines to its employees, the company is also extending assistance to their employees’ household members by sourcing vaccines for them. “Leave no one behind. Our employees’ safety in and out of our workplaces has always been of utmost priority.”, Ong added. He also added that there is no limit for family members of their employees and they will source and allot vaccines even for big families.
