Non-nationals were among the hundreds of workers from the food and beverage sector lined up for covid19 vaccines at the Southern Academy for the Performing Arts (SAPA) in San Fernando on Friday.
Like locals, the non-nationals who spoke with Newsday said they were eager to return to work.
Jojie Yap Madriaga, an executive chef from the Philippines, said many of his co-workers had already taken the vaccine. He believes taking it will help the process of making the country normal again.
