While it expressed “full support” to the “Bakunahang Bayan” drive which starts on Monday, Dec. 5, the Department of Education reiterated that vaccination against Covid-19 remained voluntary among learners and its personnel.
DepED said it “seeks to further protect” its high-risk teaching and non-teaching personnel from Covid-19 death with booster vaccinations and provide opportunities for its learners to make informed decisions on Covid-19 and vaccinations. “There shall be no discrimination of individuals who choose not to get vaccinated or who refuse a booster,” DepED said.
Moreover, DepED said that all minors who volunteer to be vaccinated should have the “consent of their parent or legal guardian.”
