Win Gatchalian on Friday urged teachers and non-teaching staff to register with their local governments units to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Most workers, including Department of Education employees and private school workers required to be physically present at their designated workplaces, are included in the fourth priority group of the government's vaccination program or A4. "Now that the COVID-19 vaccination program for the A4 priority list has opened, I call on our teachers, as well as our non-teaching personnel to register and get vaccinated." As of May 30, vaccine czar Carlito Galvez Jr. said over 5 million people have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Of these, he added, 1,189,353 have been fully vaccinated, representing only 1.08% of the total 110 million population.
