DOH targets master listing of all health workers for COVID-19 vaccine by March 31
The Department of Health (DOH) aims to have all health workers included in the vaccination master list by March 31.
The DOH had given implementing units until March 31 to identify all healthcare workers.
The government is still seeking out some 600,000 health workers, who may not be affiliated with any hospital or clinic, for inclusion in the vaccination master list.
The DOH is collaborating with various medical societies, including dental and midwives' groups, to encourage their members to be master listed by local governments.
Around 1.8 million health workers, 9 million senior citizens, and 14.5 million persons with comorbidities form the top three priority groups for vaccination.
