Unvaccinated Individuals, Stricter Requirement?

Anong masasabi ng DOH sa statement ng business community to impose stricter requirement sa unvaccinated employees and patrons and decline unvaccinated job applicants in the interest of safety?

"The Department of Health is open to recommendations from the private sector. However, we still have to consider that, as of now, majority of the population is unvaccinated and hence it may lead to discrimination especially to those who don’t have access to vaccines yet or to those who really cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons.

The DOH urges the eligible population to get vaccinated to protect themselves and their families against COVID-19. Moreover, fully vaccinated individuals should continue to practice the minimum public health standards since they can still get infected and infect others with COVID-19."
