DOLE urges firms to let workers accompany kids for vax

On Thursday, February 10, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) urged private sector employers to allow workers to accompany their children for vaccination without marking them absent.

DOLE advised employees to present proof of their children's vaccination as evidence.

The department also suggested that companies permit staff to use their leave credits during the 'Bayanihan, Bakunahan III' drive from February 10 to 11, aiming to vaccinate five million individuals.
