SENATOR Christopher ‘Bong’ Go on Thursday lauded the government’s decision to include frontliners of the Professional Regulation Commission in the A4 priority group for Covid19 vaccination.

Included in the category are proctors and watchers, as well as board examiners.

“Nagpapasalamat po tayo at kinokomendahan natin ang desisyon ng national government na isama ang ating PRC frontliners at board examiners sa A4 priority group ng ating Covid19 vaccination program,” Go said.

“Maituturing dapat na essential workers ang mga miyembro ng PRC na nagsasagawa ng mga professional board exams. Kung protektado sila dahil sa bakuna, mas makakapagtrabaho sila nang maayos para hindi maantala ang mga kailangan ng ating mga kababayan para sa kanilang mga propesyon,” he added.

The senator earlier asked the government to give vaccine priority to PRC frontliners, saying they play a significant role in processing and evaluating professionals, particularly nursing graduates, which, in turn, could address the need for more medical workers.

“Kung mapoproteksiyunan ng bakuna ang PRC examiners, proctors at iba pang personnel, maisasagawa natin agad ang board exams sa ligtas na paraan at mas madadagdagan natin ang mga healthcare professionals sa lalong madaling panahon,” Go said in his appeal.
