COTABATO CITY –BARMM Ministry of Health Dr. Bashary Latiph disclosed that about 9,588 health workers in the BARMM have been inoculated against the coronavirus disease, the region’s Ministry of Health (MOH) reported Friday. 
 
Dr. Latiph said the number comprises 65 percent of the total 14,750 health personnel belonging to the A1 category in the region, a PNA report said.

“Vaccination on our health workers is still ongoing,” he told reporters here in an interview on April 23.

Included in the A1 priority group are workers in front line health services from hospitals, isolation and quarantine facilities, and government-owned primary care-based facilities, the PNA report also said.
