CDO Foodsphere Vaccinates 2000 Employees in Batangas: A Step Closer to Herd Immunity

CDO Foodsphere was able to finally vaccinate 2000 of its employees in Malvar, Batangas last July 26. They received their first doses of AstraZeneca vaccines ordered through Go Negosyo’s A Dose of Hope program after months of waiting and preparations.

“This is a symbol of our commitment to prioritize the safety & health of our people. In addition to this, we strictly observe adherence to strict health protocols.  With the new COVID variants coming out, vaccination will protect our people and their families even. In addition to this, we will be able to do our share in achieving the herd immunity the we need,” said CDO Foodsphere President & CEO Jerome D. Ong.

The first dose was administered by CDO Director & Senior Vice President Charmaine Ong-Castro.

Vaccine confidence remains high for CDO employees and continues to increase. “The continuous education  campaign and dialogues with our people in the past months have helped build this over time. As of end-June, 65% of our people said Yes to vaccination.  Today, 85% said they are willing to get their jabs,” said Pia Viloria, Asst. Vice President for Human Resources and COVID-19 Task force chief.
