6.Presented inside the table below are events that happened related to DOT lauds inclusion of
tourism front liners in the priority group for vaccination
– Friday, February 5, 2021
I The Department of Tourism (DOT) lauds COVID Task Force Chief, Secretary Carlito Galvez
for granting the DOT’s request to include tourism frontline service personnel in the Priority
Group of the country’s vaccination program against the coronavirus disease.
II “It is, indeed, critical for our front liners, especially those who continue to man our ports of
entry and those who serve at accommodation establishments that have been repurposed as
quarantine facilities. This personnel have been there at the onset of the pandemic - had
risked life and limb during the repatriation efforts and up to now, remain at risk with the
constant exposure with incoming travelers and guests from all parts of the world,”
Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat remarked.
III As contained in the Interim National Immunization Technical Advisory Group (NITAG) for
Covid-19 Vaccines Resolution No. 1, approved on February 5, 2021, tourism front liners fall
within Priority Group iv. A4: Frontline personnel in essential sectors including uniformed
personnel and those in working sectors identified by the IATF as essential during ECQ.
IV “Protection through the vaccine and health care support systems will primarily boost their
immune system and more importantly, fortify their mental and emotional core to continue
working under stressful COVID conditions,” DOT Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat
quipped. Pre-COVID, the tourism industry used to employ 5.7 million workers.
V We also look forward to the inclusion of the tourism industry workforce at recently-opened
destinations, who operate facilities and serve guests directly, as part of the priority groups
for vaccination. Our sector’s human capital is essential to the country's socio-economic
recovery,” the DOT chief added.
