The vaccines were given at the UP-Ayala Land TechnoHub in partnership with the Quezon City local government unit. This is Ayala’s first vaccination site out of 24 sites around the country.

In the coming days, Ayala’s medical arm, AC Health, in partnership with various LGUs will continue to administer jabs to Ayala’s A4 employees in vaccination sites in Makati Stock Exchange in Makati City, BGC Parkade 3 in Taguig City, and Ayala Malls Manila Bay in Paranaque.

Ayala's employees in the A4 vaccination category get their first jab of COVID-19 vaccine at UP–Ayala Land TechnoHub, the first of the four vaccination sites that Ayala is opening with LGUs from June 14-30 to help ramp up the country's vaccination program. This year, Ayala targets to administer 1 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine.

“As our public health experts have always advised, our goal as a country should be to vaccinate as many people as we can, as quickly as we can,” AC Health President and CEO Paolo Borromeo said.

He added that, “We greatly encourage our employees to be vaccinated for their protection, as well as for the protection of their families, colleagues, and communities.”

“In doing so, we will help drive our country’s economic recovery safely and responsibly. For our part, our goal at AC Health is to administer 1Mn doses in 2021 for the Ayala Group and our external partners,” noted Borromeo.

Earlier this year, Ayala launched the Ayala Vaccine and Immunization Program (AVIP), following its order of 1 million vaccine doses, expected to arrive in tranches beginning this month.

Ayala created the AVIP for thousands of its employees (direct and outsourced), retirees, registered employee dependents, household staff and partners to encourage and facilitate their vaccination.

AVIP also allows registered participants to have one-year access to unlimited medical consultation as well as health monitoring in AC Health’s network of clinics and hospitals nationwide.

“Since the onset of the pandemic, Ayala has been committed to protecting its employees. Apart from ensuring financial security through wage continuance, we also provided COVID-19 testing for our customer-facing employees,” said Ayala Chief Human Resource Officer John Philip Orbeta.

He added that, “We also expanded our capacity in our Qualimed COVID- referral hospitals in Laguna and Bulacan to ensure that we could accommodate employees with severe symptoms. Through AVIP, we hope to give our employees and their loved ones additional protection from COVID-19 at the workplace and in their homes.”

Ayala continues to respond to the needs of its various stakeholders and the broader population. As of May 15, 2021, Ayala has allocated close to P16 billion in various pandemic-related initiatives.
