Clark International Airport Corp. (CIAC) has allotted P400,000 from its 2021 budget to procure COVID-19 vaccines for its workers.
“[On] a national scale, the inoculation process is a Herculean task, and so we hope this modest initiative of CIAC helps the government in its continued efforts to fight COVID-19,” CIAC president Aaron Aquino said in a statement.
A task force on the inoculation program will be created, the team to follow guidelines set by the Department of Health on how to obtain and administer the vaccines.
All CIAC workers recently took real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests or swab tests, the first in a series of free quarterly RT-PCR tests for the agency’s employees to help curb the spread of COVID-19 in the workplace.
CIAC manages the Clark Civil Aviation Complex, which houses privately run Clark International Airport and mixed-use business district Clark Global City, which currently has around 45 locators engaged in cargo and aviation-related businesses.
Aside from the national government, several local government units and the private sector are working to procure COVID-19 vaccines for their constituents and employees.
National Task Force Against COVID-19 chief implementer Carlito Galvez, Jr. earlier said the government targets acquiring 148 million vaccine doses of COVID-19 vaccines from different firms.
