Don't forget PUV drivers in A4 vaccinations, Poe reminds gov't
Senator Grace Poe urged the national government not to exclude public utility vehicle (PUV) drivers from the ongoing COVID-19 vaccination program.
Poe emphasized that PUV drivers have been struggling due to the government-imposed lockdowns.
She pointed out that these drivers were already disadvantaged in receiving financial aid and should not be further delayed in getting vaccinated.
Poe highlighted that PUV drivers are part of the A4 category of vaccinees and stressed the importance of their frontline roles in transporting healthcare workers and essential goods.
She believes that vaccinating drivers will not only safeguard their health but also bolster the reliability of public transportation services.
