Employees who will avail of their company's vaccination program for their relatives can be asked to pay, but employers cannot gain profit from it.

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque on Tuesday said companies can ask the employee to reimburse the supplies, logistics, and distribution cost.

"Reimbursement for cost po 'yan at walang profit, iyan ay pinapayagan ng gobyerno. Hindi issue ang cost sharing provided inorder at hindi makakarating sa ibang tao," he said in a media briefing. [Translation: It can be a reimbursement for cost but no profit. The government allows that. Cost sharing is now a problem as long as it was ordered by the company and it will not go to someone not related to the employee.]

He added the private sector can only procure vaccines through a tripartite agreement with the national government.
