DOTr's 'no vax, no ride' policy gains support

The DOTr's 'no vaccination, no ride' policy has support from officials and a commuter group.

Justice Secretary Menardo Guevara defended the order, stating that it promotes public health and safety by regulating unvaccinated individuals.

Public transport operators are bound to ensure safe transportation, which includes protection from transmissible diseases like COVID-19.

The government plans to set up vaccination sites in transport terminals, train stations, ports, and tollways to increase immunization efforts amid the recent surge in cases.
