Century Properties Group to roll out free vaccination for 5,000 workers

To contribute to nationwide efforts to reach herd immunity and economic recovery, listed Philippine real estate firm Century Properties Group (CPG) has launched its “CPG VacciNATION: Covid-Protect our Generation” immunization program. This will provide free vaccines to 5,000 company employees, inorganic employees, accredited sales agents, construction laborers and accredited third-party service personnel starting this month.

CPG has procured 26,000 doses of vaccines from AstraZeneca, Moderna, Novavax and Covaxin. Of this quantity, 10,000 doses are for CPG workers (two doses per recipient) while the balance is intended for employee dependents as well as donations to the national government.

The first 10,000 doses from CPG’s orders are scheduled to arrive this month and in August, and the company will administer majority of its purchased vaccines at its Department of Health and Makati City-registered Bakuna Center: Centuria Medical in Poblacion, Makati—CPG’s flagship private outpatient medical facility.

“The CPG VacciNATION program affirms our company’s commitment to protect our people from COVID-19 and do our share towards achieving herd immunity for the country. It is every Filipino’s duty to get vaccinated and protect his family, loved ones, co-workers and fellow citizens,” said company president and CEO Marco R. Antonio.

“Our country’s postpandemic recovery depends on getting as many Filipinos vaccinated. The CPG VacciNATION program is meant to give not just the CPG workforce but also their families immediate protection from COVID-19, and to take their doses conveniently within the safe confines of Centuria Medical Makati,” said CPG vice chairman John Victor R. Antonio.

Centuria Medical was certified as a vaccination site of the City Government of Makati on July 7, 2021, having complied with the requirements under City Ordinance No. 2021-094, and having secured the approval of the DOH.

CPG has been at the forefront of safeguarding the health of its workforce since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. With 29 buildings completed post public listing, 88 buildings under property management, and seven affordable housing communities under development, the company tripled on its health and safety protocols to protect its workforce, service front-liners and customers. This includes investments in PPE and advanced disinfection equipment, rigorous COVID-19 testing for employees every two weeks, and providing living quarters to construction laborers and critical frontliners during the height of the strict lockdowns.
