Hontiveros Stands Over Unfair Vaccination Rule

Under IATF Resolution 148-B, qualified representatives who have not yet been immunized will be needed to take COVID-19 tests at their own cost. The IATF’s goal opposes the DOLE Advisory on the ‘no immunization, no work’ strategy. This is what Hontiveros said, adding the team ought to have held more counsels to think of arrangements that would benefir laborers more.

Work Secretary Silvestre Bello III, in any case, has mellowed on that position, saying in October that the IATF goals award the strategy legitimate premise.

The Palace said that month that there might be no compelling reason to make immunization required since more individuals will get the pokes.
