Megaworld vaccinates 95% of office-based employees

MANILA, Philippines — Following the company’s rollout of its free vaccination program for employees and stakeholders last week, Megaworld reports that it has completed the vaccination of 95 percent of its office-based employees, mostly in Metro Manila.

This is equivalent to around 2,300 out of the 2,430 employees currently assigned in the various office locations of the company such as Eastwood City, Uptown Bonifacio and McKinley Hill.

Aside from the office-based employees, the company is also expediting the inoculation of its frontliners totaling around 2,500, particularly mall personnel such as security guards, housekeeping, concierge and parking staff and residential sales agents who are deployed in various sales offices around the country.

“During the past week, we put our eyes on achieving herd immunity among our office-based employees. We also look forward to achieving the same for our sales groups and frontliners in our various malls and hotels especially in Metro Manila,” said Rafael Antonio Perez, vice president for human resources and corporate administration of Megaworld.

Megaworld piloted its employees’ vaccination program in Arcovia City in Pasig City. This week, another site will be opened in Uptown Mall as the company sets to roll out the vaccination of its employees’ dependents who were pre-registered in March.

Megaworld’s vaccination is part of the conglomerate-wide AGIMMUNITY program, the free vaccination program of the Andrew Tan-led Alliance Global Group (AGI) for its employees and other stakeholders.

The conglomerate has ordered more than 100,000 doses of Sinovac, Moderna and AstraZeneca vaccines.

These vaccines are distributed to Megaworld Group, which also includes subsidiaries Global-Estate Resorts, Inc. (GERI), Empire East and Suntrust Properties; Emperador Inc., Travellers International Hotel Group, Inc. and Infracorp.
