ORMOC CITY– The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Leyte 4th District Engineering Office (DEO), in collaboration with the City Health Office of the local government of Ormoc, organized a flu vaccination drive on Monday, January 27, 2025.
A total of 118 employees received flu vaccinations to ensure their health and well-being during the flu season.
The flu shot is particularly beneficial for employees who work outdoors like roadside maintenance workers, project engineers, and project inspectors as they are frequently on-site and exposed to the elements, making them vulnerable to seasonal illnesses.
District Engineer Rosita A. Tinawin reinforced the importance of the vaccination drive, noting that a healthy workforce is essential in sustaining efficient operations. She also thanked the city health officers for their assistance in administering the vaccines. (PR)
