MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Health will set up vaccination sites in schools in a bid to encourage students and their parents to get inoculated against COVID-19, the agency’s officer-in-charge said.

 

Setting up COVID-19 immunization sites in schools may also persuade unvaccinated teaching and non-teaching personnel to get COVID-19 jabs, Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said in an interview with ABS-CBN News Channel.

 

Vergeire stressed that coronavirus vaccination is not required when students return to schools for face-to-face classes.
