MANILA, Philippines – Hinimok ng Department of Labor and Employment ang pribadong sektor na payagan ang mga empleyado nila na makapag-leave kung ang dahilan ay sasamahan nito ang kanilang mga anak sa nationwide Measles-Rubella at Bivalent-Oral Polio Vaccine activity.
Sa Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Advisory No. 04, Series of 2024, sinabi na “private sector employers, particularly those with employees who have children aged 6-59 months, are highly encouraged to allow their employees to be excused from work when they accompany their children on scheduled vaccination or when they must take care of their children who will experience adverse effects or reactions to the vaccine.”
Ang abiso ay inisyu ni Secretary Bienvenido E. Laguesma bilang suporta sa nationwide immunization activity ng pamahalaan mula Abril 1 hanggang 15.
“Upon resumption of work, the concerned employee shall present proof of vaccination and may likewise be allowed to utilize their available leave credits during the immunization activity subject to company policy or collective bargaining agreement granting the same,” saad sa anunsyo.
Inabisuhan ng DOLE ang mga employer na makipag-ugnayan sa health department ng kani-kanilang local government units sa scheduled immunization upang masiguro ang availability ng mga bakuna. RNT/JGC
