Macau operators maintain vaccination drive pressure

March 4, 2022 Macau Events & Announcements

Macau operators continue to push efforts to increase vaccination rates in the city, with Melco Resorts & Entertainment launching its third community outreach program, and SJM Holdings and Sands China announcing their own vaccine leave program.

Melco said it’s holding an onsite outreach vaccination session in coordination with the Macau Health Bureau at the Studio City Event Center between March 3-4 to help colleagues and the community receive their first, second, or third booster shot.

On February 26, Melco Chairman & CEO Lawrence Ho announced that up to three days of special paid leave will be granted for Colleagues to support their children under 18 years of age and elderly parents who need to be accompanied to get vaccinated, subject to established guidelines. Most of the other operators have now announced similar initiatives.
