FEU PARTNERS WITH 2 HEALTH GROUPS FOR VACCINATION PROGRAM

/ 20 September 2021

TO boost the inoculation efforts of the government, the Far Eastern University partnered with AC Health and Zuellig Pharma Corporation to implement a vaccination program for the FEU Group of Schools and its partner companies.

The university said that a vaccination center was established at the FEU Alabang campus.

“The site is open to FEU Group of Schools’ employees and faculty members; members of the entire Ayala Group of companies – Ayala Land, Bank of the Philippine Islands, Globe, Makati Development Corporation, and Manila Water; and other partner companies like Telus, 7Eleven (PhilSeven), Alorica, McDonalds, Yuchengco Group of Companies, Indian Chamber of Commerce, and Alaska, among others,” it added.

Vaccinations are scheduled through AC Health’s HealthNow app. On average, the vaccination site can accommodate 500 persons a day.

The vaccination of FEU employees started last July 8, 2021 with the arrival of the first batch of the Moderna doses procured by the university.

Vaccination rates are expected to accelerate in September and the last quarter of the year as more vaccines arrive.

“We are preparing to welcome back some of our students to limited face-to-face classes and one major step is to ensure that our faculty and employees are protected from having severe-illness episodes,” FEU President Michael Alba said.

“This is why FEU partnered with the Ayala Group to administer an FEU Group-wide immunization program,” he added.
