THE BATANGAS State University urged its students to get vaccinated against Covid19 to better protect its community.

In a Facebook post on Saturday, BatStateU said that students’ protection is also the community’s protection.

“Kasabay ng paghahanda ng Unibersidad para sa balik-eskwela, dapat mo ring siguruhing protektado ka sa pamamagitan ng pagpapabakuna,” the university said.

“Ang proteksiyon mo ay proteksiyon din ng buong komunidad. Ang laban na ito ay laban nating lahat. Magkasama tayo, ikaw at ako!” it added.

The university held a town hall meeting with faculty members and students in a bid to accelerate the vaccination of students in preparation for limited face-to-face classes.

The government has allowed the holding of physical classes in areas under Alert Levels 1,2, and 3. Schools must have a high vaccination rate, retrofitted classrooms, and approval from the concerned local government unit.
