TEACHERS have not been included in the vaccination priority but the Department of Education’s office in Region 7 plans to hold a survey to find out how many want to be inoculated against Covid19.

“I am contemplating on coming up with a survey, para sa ating mga teachers — who are those teachers who wanted to be vaccinated,” DepEd Region 7 Regional Director Salustiano Jimenez said.

He admitted that some teachers do not want to be vaccinated while others are undecided.

In January 2021, teachers and medical personnel in the region attended an orientation on Covid19 vaccination.

Jimenez said that DepEd officials in the province will wait for instructions from the central office on the matter.

“I can’t say if it’s voluntary or not. It would still be dependent on the order from the higher office,” he said.
