On July 13, DATEM employees got their first jab of Moderna vaccines at a vaccination site set up in Three Parkade in Bonifacio Global City. The COVID-19 vaccines were procured by the company through the consortium of the Philippine Constructors Association, and were rolled out following the vaccination framework by the Department of Health. The second batch of vaccines is expected to arrive and shall be administered to employees in September to benefit those based outside Metro Manila, while rollout completion is targeted within the fourth quarter of this year. This company-wide vaccination program is aligned with the company’s goal of reaching at least 90% vaccination status by year-end, as it aims to bolster its operations and sustain its momentum for 2022.
