BPO industry touts expedited-vaccination deal with QC as model for other LGUs
The Quezon City local government has partnered with IT-Business Process Management (IT-BPM) groups, including IBPAP, CCAP, and HIMAP, to expedite the vaccination of over 67,000 employees working in the city.
Under the agreement, the QC LGU will facilitate and expedite the inoculation process for IT-BPM workers who report to offices within Quezon City.
Healthcare workers from participating firms may also volunteer to assist in administering the vaccines.
This initiative supports the sector's broader efforts to procure vaccines, with the industry planning to acquire over a million doses of AstraZeneca, Moderna, and Novavax vaccines for employees and their dependents.
The industry hopes this partnership will serve as a model for collaborations with other local government units.
IBPAP President and CEO Rey E. Untal expressed gratitude to the Quezon City Government for this partnership.
