NANINIWALA si Senador Sherwin Gatchalian na kailangang magkaroon ng teamwork ang Inter-Agency Task Force, Department of Health at State Colleges and Universities para sa vaccination rollout sa tertiary students.

Ipinaliwanag ni Gatchalian na mahalagang magtuloy-tuloy ang pagbuo ng mga professional sa bansa upang madaling makabangon ang ekonomiya.

“Our economy needs to rev up and the nation needs to continue moving. In order to do that we need professionals, we need graduates from college or else we will not have a competent workforce to rev up our economy,” paliwanag ni Gatchalian.

“So Commission on Higher Education should really allow face-to-face classes in tertiary education provided that this tertiary education institutions should practice high standards of health protocols,” dagdag ng senador.

Binigyang-diin ng mambabatas na sa ngayon ay ppinapayagan na ang pagbabakuna sa mga college student at ang kailangan lamang ay ang malinaw na programa.

“First of all, students, college students are already allowed to be vaccinated. They’re part of the A4, A5 And they’re in the 18 and above already so they’re allowed to be vaccinated. And what’s important right now is for the Colleges, for higher tertiary education to have this very strict protocol,” diin ng mambabatas.

“That’s a good idea, to give special vaccination programs, a special vaccination program for college professors and even basic education teachers,” pahayag pa ni Gatchalian.

Nilinaw ng senador na ang layunin ng programa ay makabalik agad sa normal ang pag-aaral at maaari lang itong gawin kung nabakunahan na ang mga estudyante at mga guro.
