The 47-year-old local chief executive issued the directive during a visit at the construction site of the 10-storey modern Manila Science High School along Taft Avenue. Moreno made the immediate decision for on-site booster shots after learning from project officials that all the workers, many of whom came from the provinces, had already completed their second vaccine doses. Moreno’s directive will not only benefit the workers at the P1.3-billion Manila Science High School project, but also all workers in the various city government projects under its own “Build, Build, Build” programme. Besides the Manila Science High School, two other modern city public schools are being constructed at the same time. Moreno said providing booster shots to all the workers in the various projects not only ensures undisrupted construction, but also ensures that workers enjoy continuous employment.
