MANILA — The government is planning to enlist the help of medicine and nursing students as well as graduates for its COVID-19 vaccination program, the Commission on Higher Education said Tuesday.
De Vera said he and National Task Force Against COVID-19 deputy chief implementer Vince Dizon already talked to colleges and universities offering medicine and nursing programs over the proposal. The government earlier allowed higher education institutions offering medical and allied health science programs to hold limited in-person classes to ensure that the country would have enough medical frontliners during the COVID-19 pandemic.
De Vera also stressed the need to continuously produce health professionals as he reacted to calls for the postponement of the Physician Licensure Exam scheduled in September.
