In February 2021, the government gave vaccination priority to front-line workers at KTCTs and since then terminal operators have been encouraging their front-line workers to get vaccinated.
The terminal operators have enhanced publicity and implemented various measures to encourage their front-line workers to get vaccination in the past few months, With these measures, the vaccination rate of port workers has been increasing.
The port has achieved an overall vaccination rate of 49 per cent for full vaccination and 65 per cent for having at least one shot as of July 30 . It is expected that the vaccination rate will be over 70 per cent by end-August.
Terminal operators will continue to strive their best to encourage front-line workers to take the vaccine in order to create a safe working environment for all the people in the container terminals, help protect the community and maintain smooth operation of the port.
The port sector will also continue to stay vigilant and take all kinds of protection measures during the course of delivering port services.
