The Commission of Higher Education is pushing for school-based vaccination to convince more students to get vaccinated against coronavirus disease .“We want all schools, if possible, to be vaccination sites,” CHED Chairman Popoy De Vera said in a mix of English and Filipino during the ceremonial vaccination of Quezon City University students on Oct. 29.
De Vera said that it is easier to vaccinate in schools as long as they have proper coordination with their respective local government units . Instead of mixing the students with the rest of the general population, De Vera explained school-based vaccination is more because schools already have a master list of their students.
“Unlike in hospitals or other places, the schools are the students’ comfort zone so they would feel more relaxed if they are vaccinated here,” Atienza said. At least 300 students lined up and were vaccinated with Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca.
