Caring for the Carers: Childhope PH Street Educators, Social Workers Get Vaccinated Against COVID-19

By Jem Tumbaga | Resource Mobilization and Communications Officer

80% of Childhope staff got their COVID vaccines.
80% of Childhope staff got their COVID vaccines.

The third wave of COVID-19 infections and deaths in Philippines is so far the most severe in the country most especially in the metro, with infections among children also on the rise. 

Although children may not be the face of this pandemic, they risk being among its biggest victims as their lives are being turned upside down under restriction measures. While necessary, these measures inevitably disrupt children’s access to services such as health, education, welfare and protection, and the impact may be lifelong, especially for the most vulnerable.

Children need their lives back, and the COVID-19 vaccine is a key step toward that recovery. In addition to health workers and high-risk groups prioritized in Philippines' vaccine roll-out, vaccinating another key group of frontline workers including teachers and social workers, who are ensuring the safety and well-being of children and their families, must also be prioritized.

To help ensure the safety and well-being of street children and their families in Philippines, Childhope Philippines street educators, social workers, and office-based staff get their Covid19 vaccines not only to protect themselves, but also their families and the children they serve. Childhope Philippines is one with the nation in advocating for COVID vaccination and actively campaigns for its older beneficiaries to get vaccinated.

“We must do everything we can to safeguard the future of the next generation, which starts with safeguarding those responsible for their development and wellbeing.” Dr. Carpio, Executive Director of Childhope Philippines
