House to vaccinate own workers
THE House of Representatives will allot at least P50 million for the vaccination of more than 2,000 workers and accredited journalists covering the chamber against the coronavirus, Speaker Lord Allan Q. Velasco said on Wednesday.
Five immediate family members of House employees and accredited media will be included in the House’s mass vaccination program, he told reporters in a Viber group message.
“This is for the normalcy of business,” he said. “We just want the legislative mill to be grinding.” Mr. Velasco said the House would most probably get the vaccines from China’s Sinovac Biotech Ltd. or British manufacturer AstraZeneca Plc.
