MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Education (DepEd) has launched Vacc2School: Ligtas na Bakuna, Para sa Balik-Eskwela! campaign.
Secretary Leonor Briones said the campaign aims to inform, educate, and engage the Department’s stakeholders, including its teaching and non-teaching personnel, in promoting the vaccination drive and other related policies to mitigate COVID-19.
“I am encouraging everyone, especially the teachers, and other education personnel to participate in this campaign, and make informed decisions on vaccination to further intensify and advance our chances of safely returning to school,” she said in a statement.
“We would like to encourage our teachers to vaccinate themselves because it is not only a matter of protecting your personal rights, it is also a matter of protecting the lives and health of children which is also entrusted to our care,” she added.
The campaign introduced the characters of Teacher Edna, Doctor Edu, Learners Kaye, and Sean in educating DepEd personnel and stakeholders on their roles in mitigating the virus. –AAC
